What animal is the fastest land animal on earth?
A cheetah can easily accelerate to 63 mph in just... three seconds! No wonder cheetahs are considered the fastest land animals on our planet. If a cheetah peaks up the pace, it can run even faster, 75 mph.
All the other animals from the list are also quite fast, but their maximum speed is a bit less impressive:
- The springbok reaches speeds up to 62 mph.
- The pronghorn antelope can run 55 mph.
- Lions can run up to 50 mph.

pay attention. read the whole question this is what gets us we think we know what someone is going to say or we assume we know what the question is and then asnwer incorrectly. this happens all the time in conversations and reading signs etc causing problems and miscommuniations and alot of the time negative outcomes

It’s always entertaining to watch the children squabble in the comments! Bless their little hearts! No cookies and milk for them today.

The only name appereance is LEOPARDO, obviously is not the same with Cheetah or GUEPARDO, so, I leave now this quizz because this question is a fake.

jfreemg, And the cheetah cannot maintain that speed for more than a short time. Like the saluki

The falcon does not live on land. He lives in a tree. The tree lives on the land

The Cheetah is also the fastest land MAMMAL on the face of the earth. It is not a BIRD. They have the wind behind them so of course they will be faster. But the question was what the fastest LAND animal .. not raptor.. .. :) Read the entire question sir ... not trying to make you feel incompetent at all, I'm just cautioning you to read the entire question. This is supposed to be fun.
