How do cheetahs achieve such high speeds?
- ๐๏ธ 13
Cheetahs achieve high speeds of up to 112 km/h due to their unique anatomy. Their long, flexible spines act like springs, extending their stride during sprints. Large nostrils, lungs, and hearts supply oxygen efficiently, while strong leg muscles generate explosive power. Cheetahsโ semi-retractable claws provide grip, and their long tails act as rudders for balance. These adaptations allow them to accelerate rapidly and pursue prey with unmatched agility.
