It's always exciting to come across the world's fastest land mammal on a game drive. Here are five fun cheetah facts: 💨 Cheetahs are built for super speed but not stamina. Their chase usually lasts less than a minute and covers 200-300 metres. 😴 One study found that cheetahs spend an astonishing 88% of their day resting! 🏎️ Cheetahs can accelerate from 0-60mph in just 3 seconds. This is faster than most sports cars! 🐆 The name cheetah comes from a Hindi word, chita, meaning 'spotted one'. In Swahili they are called 'duma'. 🗣️ Cheetahs can't roar, as they don’t have the special two-piece bone in their throats that allows other big cats to roar. But they can growl, hiss and purr! 📸 @lucigasa #samburu #samburunationalreserve #buffalospringsnationalreserve #buffalosprings #kenia #sabana #kenya #africa #beautiful #photooftheday #photography #africanamazing #vsco #love #picoftheday #cheetah #discoverthesafaricollection
