Max Speed
112–120 km/h
(70–75 mph)
The Cheetah can accelerate from 0 to 96.6 km/h (60.0 mph) in under three
seconds, though endurance is limited: most Cheetahs run for only 60
seconds at a time.When sprinting, Cheetahs spend more time in the air than on the ground.
Cheetah is the fastest Animal on the Land, but still there are animals that are faster than a cheetah
Who they are...?

Horse Fly
hahaha just kidding that's not Horse Fly, this is the true Horse Fly

145.0 km/h
(90.1 mph)
Horseflies will develop as larvae for 1-2 years, however they only live for a few days as adults. Adult

anautogenous, meaning they require a blood meal before they are able to reproduce effectively.
All of them are fast.....
