The lion is said to be majestic, the leopard ferocious and shrewd. But elegant and graceful best describes the cheetah. The cheetah is smaller than the other two cats, but by far the fastest at speeds of 70 miles per hour it can run faster than all other animals.
Now restricted to sub-Saharan Africa, wild cheetahs once were found in most of Africa, the plains of southern Asia, the Middle East and India.
In past cultures, they used the cheetah’s mannerisms for guidance. If one was moving with great speed but little direction, “cheetah energy” helped to keep the goal in focus, in sight, and assisted the person in finding the most direct way of achieving them.
