Cheetah resting with tongue out - Acinonyx

Cheetah resting with licking tongue at Werribee Open Range Zoo, Australia. The Cheetah is the fastest land mammal on the planet, reaching speeds up to 112km/hour, although the average speed of a chase is around 64km/hour. The body of the Cheetah is designed for speed and agility Ã¢â¬â they are sprinters not marathon runners. Cheetah are the only cats with claws that do not retract, using these much the same way athletes use their spikes to dig into the ground for better traction when running. Cheetahs grow between 70 Ã¢â¬â 90cm in height, and weigh between 35 Ã¢â¬â 65kg. The males are approximately 10kg heavier than the females.
