Cheetah: Designed for the Perfect Hunt

The fastest animal on four legs is the great cat cheetah! It is for sure the fastest animal on four legs on this planet earth. Perhaps, it wouldn't be silly if you wonder what could enhance such speed!

This animal tends to have rather unique features that could cause such a great speed you wondered. If you have asked such great questions, know that you are not alone.

Thousands and millions of people ask the same question and I will be very delighted to answer the question. I will try my best to convey this information in a more comprehensible manner.


Small Head.

Unlike other cats, cheetahs have a small head. This helps to boost the air of dynamics for a greater speed. This on the contrary can also be a disadvantage. It cannot bite like other big cats like lions, leopard, etc, so in some cases it turns out to be the prey.


Light bone.

Cheetah unlike other cats is not heavy. Their light bones make it possible for them to run faster when in motion. However this has a great disadvantage as well. When it encounters other predators cheetah is usually intimidated, sometimes robbed of her meal.


Spine.
Cheetah uses it's spine to trap preys. When they pounce at the back of the prey they first of all inject their spine into the body of the prey and then go for their neck.


Animals do Steal.

Though cheetahs are designed for the perfect hunt; they are not designed for the perfect kill. They are the best hunter in Africa and exhaust a lot of energy during their hunt. When cheetah kills a prey, they have only fought half the battle. Other predators like leopard, lion, hyena, tigers are there looking for possible means to snatch away her meal.



The great runner will try to find a way to get the food to her cubs undetected. But even when the food gets to her cub that is no guarantee. Scavengers like vultures can pose a threat and snatch away the food from her. This is how life in the wild has kept these amazing cats.


Life in the wild is not going to be easy for her cubs, so they need to acquire their mother's skill and acquire it fast. Nevertheless these little creatures have a great weapon which is inherited from their mother, a pure unadulterated speed!
