Female Cheetah - Schleich 14746

Cheetahs are excellent hunters. At first they approach their prey very cautiously until they are within a few meters, then when the time is right they run with lightning speed. If the fleeing prey suddenly changes direction, the cheetah can simply twist its body in mid-leap. Its flexible spine makes this possible. But if they don't succeed after a few hundred meters, they have to give up. The high speed is so energy-intensive that it can only be maintained for a short distance. From 3 years.
