Description

Sprint (Ex) Once per hour, a cheetah can move at 10 times its normal speed (500 feet) when it makes a charge.

The cheetah is a swift and deadly predator capable of moving with incredible speed, allowing it to run down unsuspecting foes hundreds of feet away.

The hunting cat avoids areas of dense and tangled undergrowth, but has great skill at lying in wait in tall grass.

An adult cheetah is 4-1/2 feet long and weighs 140 pounds.

This large, sleek feline has a golden coat spotted with black. Its long and powerful legs are obviously capable of great speed. With each graceful step, this leopard’s steely muscles ripple beneath its spotted fur.
