One of our favourite big cats is the cheetah which is a member of the Felidae family, which means they are closely related to pumas, lynxes and bobcats. These graceful animals are well known for their amazing speed and can be identified by their unique black spots on their yellow coats.

The cheetah’s top speed is 103 kilometres per hour, however they can only sustain that only very briefly. Let’s take a closer look at this very elegant animal.
