Petrozkoz
He is using always just one leg. So basically he needs just one leg to run.
pottomusmaximus
His head is like a M1 Abrams main gun...perfectly focused.

It’s cool how still the head is
t4piwa
I wish I looked this elegant working for my meal
BenWyattCalzoneKingandIceTownClown
Yeah no, I said a number 5 with cheese!
DreadNaut001
I love how with everything going on in the rear of the guy, the head doesnt change an inch.
CatWheezle
Want to see at least two step cycles. Looks like it alternates which rear leg does the most push, but hard to tell. /r/gifsthatendtoosoon
TsubakiTragic
I do not believe that cat is flat out. He has more gas in the tank.
Thome216
Head is rock steady!

Wow!

I had no idea my phone has such amazing framerate!
NlessWonder
Now that’s peak performance.

Head stays level. The cheetah’s entire body is basically a biomechanical 3axis gimbal for its mouth.

It's a weird ecological niche. You're really good at running really really fast and that's basically it.

gimbal and ZOOM platform

And the thing is still running faster than I can.

Double suspension gallop. Also used by speedy sighthounds!
SgtThunderfistMD
TIL cheetahs don’t run. They fly short distances.
Jerkfacedjerk
That double-suspension gate!

FOR WHOM THE BELL TOOLLLSS

Thunder Cats are on the move. Thunder Cats are loose! Feel the magic; hear the roar. Thunder Cast are loose!

Didn't know they technically spent so much time off the ground when they run.
poopgood
Well. Now you know.
Arcrosis
Yeah, when most quadrapeds run they have 2-3 simultaneous contact points with the ground. Cheetahs only have 1 at a time. Less contact, less
Arcrosis
Friction, more speed

Gotta find speed.

Must hasten quickly.

This is disgusting. I love it.

This is the best one.

Still better than the trailer Sonic.

Freaking magical.

Poetry in motion. Truly MAJESTIC.

Stay on target...

Cheetahs never win
gingergiggle
It’s kinda closer to flying than running
Metallica93
And here's someone having that exact thought almost 150 years ago: https://www.thevintagenews.com/2016/06/27/46591-2/

Amusingly, the technical definition of "Run" is movement when all feet leave the ground.
SameSheet
It looks like back legs is for forward push force while front is for flying. Sorry for potato English I'm drunk
Geek13
Pretty much. Front legs are mostly to keep it from face plowing.
Rifneno
Look at the way its spine expands and contracts between steps to get an extra boost of speed. Evolution is fucking magnificent.
Pacuta
And its head stays perfectly level.
q2grapple
...amazing
whatpassesforclever
Since cheetahs can only run for like 10 sec at a time cause they overheat, has anyone ever tried supercooling a cheetah?

Liquid nitrogen cooled bionic cheetah. *Insert cyber punk 2077 logo*
