What is a cheetah thinking?
Fastest thing alive for nineteen seconds. Then needs a considerable sit down.
A sprint lasts around 20 to 30 seconds before overheating forces it to stop, and most chases are far shorter than people expect. Body temperature climbs fast enough that the recovery matters more than the top speed.
And the top speed is not the clever part. A cheetah can decelerate by several metres per second per second and turn at full pace - catching prey is won on the cornering, not the straight.
