Cheetahs can go from 0 to 97 km/h (0 to 60 mph) in less than 3 seconds. [109] There are indirect ways to measure how fast a cheetah can run. One case is known of a cheetah that overtook a young male pronghorn. Cheetahs can overtake a running antelope with a 140 m (150 yd) head start.
The female's home range's size can depend on the prey base. Cheetahs in southern African woodlands have ranges as small as 34 km 2 (13 sq mi), while in some parts of Namibia, they can reach 1,500 km 2 (580 sq mi). Female cheetahs can reproduce at 13 to 16 months of age and with a typical age of sexual maturity between 20 and 23 months. [40]
