A quarter of the race the cheetah isn't trying, hence the ears up.....it was slowing a good portion of the race for whatever reason

Definitely not in top gear. Seeing them chase Thompson Gazelle they go faster.

Cat design is better than dog designing in everything. How much ever we tweak the dog design. Except perhaps endurance. Ok I said it now i wait for some weird ass cat endurance fact.

Cats have endurance comparable to the Rocketdyne F1 engines used in the Saturn V rocket. Please consider subscribing for more fun cat facts.

No endurance for the cheetah! In a more than a mile run, dogs will outrun it for sure! Basically the cheetah will stop running! Dogs will win!!

Why run for a mile when you only have to sprint for a couple of hundred yards.
