CHEETAH RUN! Cheetahs are the track stars of the cat world. They are designed to run very fast. Their flexible spine allows their front legs to stretch far with each stride, and their claws are hard and sharp like cleats, so they have excellent traction when running. While running, they can cover 20 to 22 feet in a single stride. A cheetah is off the ground more than half of their running time! Below, connect the dots in numerical order to create the cheetah and help it run fast! Later, learn how to draw a cheetah with Fresno Chaffee Zoo's own artist, Amber!
