Cheetahs can overtake a running antelope with a 140 m (150 yd) head start. Both animals were clocked at 80 km/h (50 mph) by speedometer reading while running alongside a vehicle at full speed. [106] Cheetahs can easily capture gazelles galloping at full speed (70–80 km/h (43–50 mph)). [63] The physiological reasons for speed in cheetahs are:
The highest speed reliably and rigorously measured in cheetahs in a straight line is 29 m/s (104 km/h), as an average of 3 runs over a 201.2-meter (220 yards) course (starting from start line already running). [61] [62] Top speed data is result of dividing distance by time spent. Pronghorn: 80–96 km/h (50–60 mph) [19] [27] [22]
Limitations of animal running speed provides an overview of how various factors determine the maximum running speed. Some terrestrial animals are built for achieving extremely high speeds, such as the cheetah, pronghorn, race horse and greyhound, while humans can train to achieve high sprint speeds. There is no single determinant of maximum ...

Cheetah Hunt opened to the public on May 27, 2011, alongside a cheetah exhibit called Cheetah Run. Cheetah Hunt features three linear synchronous motor (LSM) launches and a single inversion. The roller coaster reaches a height of 102 feet (31 m), with a maximum speed of 60 miles per hour (97 km/h) and a total track length of 4,429 feet (1,350 m).
There are many instances on social media showing people being chased by wild elephants. In one viral video, two men run down a road with an elephant in close pursuit. The men are running as fast ...
