This amazing video captured by Bertie Gregory features a rare top angle drone shot of a cheetah in full sprint. From this perspective, you can see how its spine works like a massive spring, stretching and contracting to cover over seven meters in a single stride. Unlike other cats,... cheetahs have "semi-retractable" claws that act like track spikes, providing permanent grip on the ground. Their long, heavy tail serves as a biological rudder, swinging sharply to balance the body during high-speed turns. It’s perfect natural engineering designed for one thing-pure, explosive speed.

A cheetah hitting a sharp turn at high speed should logically skid out, but it doesn't. The secret is the tail. This muscular rudder acts as a high-speed stabilizer. By whipping it in the opposite direction of a turn, the cheetah creates counter-torque to balance its center of mass. This allows for rapid pivots while semi-retractable claws provide permanent, spike boots-like traction. It’s pure biomechanics using physics to manage angular momentum. While we build supercars with active spoilers, nature perfected this steering millions of years ago. VC: Lemurt Wildlife #wildlife #nature #predator #cheetah #biomechanics

This high-speed train, CRH380AM, set a record speed of 605 km/h during testing. It’s nicknamed "Bronze Sword" and features a sharply pointed nose, making it very easy to identify.

How do you get a cheetah in a crate? Good question! In Somaliland, the Bandit Group - a coalition of five adolescent male cheetahs – is getting ready to move from the ‘cub area’ to a large, new enclosure. And, for the first time since arriving at the Cheetah Rescue and Conservation Centre (CRCC) as young cubs, they will be transported in crates. To prepare the cats, staff at the CRCC have been gradually getting the cheetahs used to the crates they will be using for the relocation. So far, the group is making amazing progress! At least, they seem to like using the crates as furniture! A sanctuary and rehabilitation center for cheetahs rescued from the illegal wildlife trade and cases of human-wildlife conflict, today the CRCC is home to almost 100 cheetahs – including the Bandit Group.
