Which is the fastest land animal?
The Correct answer is Cheetah
The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a large feline species known for its incredible speed and distinctive spotted coat. It is native to Africa and can also be found in parts of Iran. Cheetahs are the fastest land animals, capable of reaching speeds up to 60-70 miles per hour (97-113 kilometers per hour) in short bursts covering distances up to 1,500 feet (460 meters).
They have a slender, long-legged body with a distinctive coat of tan or yellow fur covered in black spots. They also have "tear marks" running from the inner corners of their eyes down to the sides of their mouth, which may help reduce glare from the sun and improve focus on prey.
