Title: The Fastest Mammel in the world
Post by: Dakotaranger on September 10, 2009, 11:51:08 PM
I'm not a huge animal lover beyond what I eat, horses, and cats.  I guess the last one is because it was fun to watch my sister's cat, Katie, hunt.  So when I see something like this, it's just too cool.

Cool video, and yeah, watching cats hunt is cool. The cheetah is perfectly designed for speed - the head must be on all sorts of gyros, it rarely moves no matter what the body is doing. And the tail counterbalances the rest of the body. And the whole time, the eyes never leave the target.

Very cool. If it was going after my cattle, though, I would still drop it. And then wonder what the heck a cheetah was doing in ND!  ;D

I dont think they were moving the bait fast enough.... that cheetah seemed to have more to give..... it was still accelerating during the entire run.

Cool video, Beautiful Cheetah, that horribly ugly "woman" however only needed a red jacket to be a double for the evil one.

With a cheetah, you have to "lead" the target quite a bit...... ::)
