What makes a cheetah run so fast?

   Cheetahs is the fastest land animal in the world. Its top speed is 70 mph. Cheetahs are lightweight and small, only grow about 3 feet tall and 4 feet long. More than half of that length is the tail, which is crucial to maintaining control during a 70 mph chase. On the open savannas of Iran and parts of Africa, cheetahs are amazing examples of specialization which is for speed. Cheetahs chase after prey last for only 30 seconds before he gets his hands on it. Cheetah moms spend a lot of time teaching their cubs to chase, sometimes dragging live animals back to the den so the cubs can practice the chase and catch process. The speed of the cheetah comes from the way their body is build. It has a soft back bone that easily bend. That allows the cat the spring forward in a good leaps. The cheetah gets alot of grip from there long thin claws. They can put up to more then 60 miles per hour in three seconds .
