Both cheetahs and impala antelopes are fast runners in the wild natural world. The speed racing performances of these two animals always satisfy the audience.
When mentioning the fastest animal in the world, surely most people’s minds will “jump” to the cheetah.
Cheetahs have a physical constitution and galloping style similar to greyhounds, which are known as the speed king of dogs.
The cheetah’s maximum speed can reach up to 120 km/h, with the ability to accelerate from 0 to 96 km/h in just 3 seconds. Each leopard can run continuously for 1 minute at this speed.
The cheetah is also equipped with a special black streak, running from the eye to the corner of the mouth, which acts as a mechanism to help its eyes prevent glare when hunting during the day.
Possessing a natural ability for speed, it is not surprising if cheetahs are ranked by scientists as one of the most fearsome predators on the planet.
According to scientists, the secret to the cheetah’s extremely fast running lies in the fact that this animal can adjust the frequency of its steps according to its speed, similar to the “gear shifting” mechanism of a motorbike car.
Along with that, cheetahs also have a slim body but very flexible muscles, long legs, flexible spine, deep chest, special pads on the feet and a long tail to maintain balance.
It is also the only cheetah that cannot retract its claws, an adaptation that helps maintain traction like a football player’s cleats.
Clip source: LatestSightings.Tour guide Cole van Rooyen of the private resort Lush during a trip to Pilanesberg National Park had to “gasp” at the extremely high speed chase.
In a car full of tourists, Rooyen urged everyone to persevere in watching the herd of impala antelopes in front of them because he knew that two notorious cheetahs (Rain and her cub) were present here. .
After about 20 minutes, suddenly the herd of antelopes ran away. Leopard Rain appeared from nowhere, ran straight in front of everyone’s car and then jumped into the bushes. It was thought that everyone would miss the dramatic hunting scene, but Rooyen was wrong.
The leopard suddenly changed direction to pursue a young antelope right in front of the tourist group’s car. Then, with just a few basic movements, the leopard suffocated the antelope and turned it into a nutritious meal for the whole herd.
Leopard Rain is an extremely famous character in Pilanesberg park. It was one of the first nine leopards brought here. Therefore, Rain plays an extremely important role in maintaining the leopard species. Currently, Rain is the mother of 5 children.
