Fastest Land Animal

Don't ever deal with these beasts.When they mad at you,run is not the way out.Ok here are the list :


Cheetah; 70 – 75 mph


The cheetah holds the distinction of being the world's fastest land animal. Cheetahs can sprint at speeds in excess of 62 mph for short periods of time. After just 10 to 20 seconds, the amount of heat generated by such exertion is too much for the cheetah to handle and their sprint fizzles to a standstill. Cheetahs depend on their speed to survive, for without their speed they would go hungry. Their prey includes Thompson's gazelles, young wildebeest, impala, and hares—all fast and agile animals themselves.

Cheetahs are superbly adapted for speed. They have extremely flexible spines that allow them to stretch their body in order to take long strides. Cheetahs have a long tail that serves as a balance when running, allowing them to change direction efficiently when moving at top speed. Cheetahs are unique among cats in that they are the only species that lacks fully-retractable claws. Since the claws of cheetahs remain extended at all times, they enjoy better traction while running.

Cheetahs have golden to cream colored coats with black spots. They have distinct tear stripes that run from inner and outer corners of their eyes down their muzzle. The underside of their face, neck, and belly is of a lighter golden color than the fur on their back and flanks. The cheetah's tail is dappled with black spots at its base and these spots gradually merge towards the end of its tail to become black rings.

Don't confuse about cheetah,leopard and jaguar.At glance they are similar,but based on an ability,they are different where leopard and jaguar are stronger but slower than cheetah.Physically,cheetah has smaller dots surrounding their body while leopard has bigger dots with slightly different in shape and jaguar has even bigger circle-like than leopard.






Pronghorn Antelope; 43 - 61 mph (With speeds sustainable for improver durations than a cheetah's sprint. Note variation in speeds between the antelope)


Pronghorns are deer-like mammals that have light-brown fur on their body, a white belly, a white rump, and black markings on their face and neck. Their head and eyes are large and they have a stout body. Males have dark brownish-black horns with anterior prongs. Females have similar horns except that they lack prongs. The forked shape horns of the male pronghorn is unique, no other animal is known to have forked horns. Horns in both sexes grown on top of horn cores—bumps covered in dense white hair. Pronghorns shed their horns each year and re-grow them from the tip of horn core.

Pronghorns are even-toed hoofed mammals. They are the fastest land mammal in North America, able to reach sprints of up to 86 km/hour. Male pronghorns are referred to as bucks, female pronghorn are called does, and young are referred to as fawns.

Pronghorns have very large eyes, in fact, the eyes of a pronghorn are larger than those of an elephant. Their eyes are very dark, an adaptation that enables them to deal with bright sunshine in summer and blinding-white snow in winter that are both characteristic to the plains habitat in which they live.




 Lioness/Lion; 40 mph/ 50 mph respectively (short bursts)


Lions are the only cats that live in groups, which are called prides. Prides are family units that may include up to three males, a dozen or so females, and their young. All of a pride's lionesses are related, and female cubs typically stay with the group as they age. Young males eventually leave and establish their own prides by taking over a group headed by another male.

Only male lions boast manes, the impressive fringe of long hair that encircles their heads. Males defend the pride's territory, which may include some 100 square miles (259 square kilometers) of grasslands, scrub, or open woodlands. These intimidating animals mark the area with urine, roar menacingly to warn intruders, and chase off animals that encroach on their turf.

Female lions are the pride's primary hunters. They often work together to prey upon antelopes, zebras, wildebeest, and other large animals of the open grasslands. Many of these animals are faster than lions, so teamwork pays off.

After the hunt, the group effort often degenerates to squabbling over the sharing of the kill, with cubs at the bottom of the pecking order. Young lions do not help to hunt until they are about a year old. Lions will hunt alone if the opportunity presents itself, and they also steal kills from hyenas or wild dogs.

Lions have been celebrated throughout history for their courage and strength. They once roamed most of Africa and parts of Asia and Europe. Today they are found only in parts of sub-Saharan Africa, except for one very small population of Asian lions that survives in India's Gir Forest.

Lion also known as a Jungle King.Their strength are awesome,but sometimes lose by a group of Hyena because Hyena has insane courage when they are grouped.And sometimes female Lion more often go hunting rather than the male whose just wait the food unless they have no choice when the female can't "serve".






Thomson's Gazelle; 50 mph (Can maintain top speed longer than a cheetah, as well as make much sharper turns.)


Gazelles are medium-sized antelopes found in Africa and in Asia as far east as Mongolia. There are some 19 different species of gazelles.

These grazing antelopes live in herds, which can consist of as few as ten or as many as several hundred animals. During the plentiful rainy season, thousands of animals can be seen gathering in large groups.

Gazelles typically frequent wide-open spaces and plains, where they browse on grasses, shoots, and leaves.

Open plains make them visible to predators like cheetahs or wild dogs, but gazelles are fleet of foot. The Thomson's gazelle can reach speeds of 40 miles (64 kilometers) an hour.

Some gazelle species eschew the grasslands for mountainous landscapes or even deserts. During the dry season some grassland gazelles will even take to the African bush in search of water.

Gazelles are nimble and beautiful animals, with a variety of stripes and markings that accentuate their tan buff coats and white rumps. They also boast a impressive, ringed horns. These attributes make many gazelles attractive as game animals.

Gazelles are often hunted by cheetah,but cheetah can't easily catch them.The only power for Gazelles to "escape" are the stamina and sharp turn which can mess up the cheetah if cheetah not quickly finish them off.





Wildebeest; 40 - 50 mph


Wildebeest habitat comprises the grassy plains and open woodlands of central, southern, and eastern Africa, particularly the Serengeti in Tanzania and Kenya. They travel in large herds and are active day and night, grazing constantly.

Their spectacular northward migration in search of greener pastures is dictated by weather patterns, but usually takes place in May or June. It is considered one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on Earth, involving up to 1.5 million wildebeests as well as hundreds of thousands of other animals, including zebra and gazelle.
Up to 500,000 calves are born in February and March each year, at the beginning of the rainy season. Calves learn to walk within minutes of birth and within days are able to keep up with the heard. Gnus can live to be 20 years old.

Wildebeest often found grouped in a large number.And the predator should careful to hunt them off because wildebeest can help each other.
