*Schleich Wild Life Female Cheetah

Cheetahs
are excellent hunters. First of all they approach their prey very
carefully until they are within a few metres, then when the time is
right, they run at lightning speed. If the fleeing prey suddenly changes
direction, the Cheetah can simply turn its body mid-leap. Its flexible
spine makes this possible. However, if they have no success after a few
hundred metres, they have to give up. The high speed is so
energy-sapping, they can only keep it up for a short distance.
