Cheetah
Speed: Around 50 to 75 MPH
Said to be the fastest land mammal on the planet, the Cheetah is one heck of a predator. You’ll mostly find them in Africa but many have navigated into lower portions of Asia from time to time too. They used to be a lot more common here centuries ago, especially when kept as pets. However, they have since mostly been in the African territory as one of its apex predators. The Asiatic Cheetah is, obviously, the only surviving Cheetah species in Asia. They are sadly on the Critically Endangered list too. This is actually the species that were kept as pets by humans.
For some reason, they are a lot more docile around human beings than their African counterparts. This very well could be from centuries of human interaction, but it is uncertain. Every species of Cheetah is fast, however. The Asiatic Cheetah is a bit leaner, making many assume it is naturally going to be faster. However, African and Asiatic Cheetahs are really no different in this area. Both can reach top speeds of 70 to 75 mph in sprint sessions. But in something like a mile-long chase, they’ll go down a little lower. However, they don’t chase like this very often.
