A cheetah has a short muzzle, small canines, and other features to help reduce the overall weight of its head. All this results in a skull that weighs around 500 grams. That’s just over a pound.
Now, cheetahs need this light skull to make space for a large nasal cavity. Because cheetahs need LOTS of oxygen. To help meet this need, they have large nostrils that allow for quick and large intakes of air while the cheetah’s large chest holds its lungs and heart, which work together to help circulate the oxygen throughout its body. And that’s crucial, since a cheetah can take anywhere between 60 to 150 breaths per minute.
This is a drastic increase, since at rest, a cheetah takes in about 9 breaths per minute. That means that when these cats really get going, their breathing rate goes up to SIXTEEN TIMES faster. What’s even more fascinating is that while running, you’ll notice that a cheetah’s head doesn’t move.
It stays incredible still.

"The cheetah is the world's fastest land mammal. With acceleration that would leave most automobiles in the dust, a cheetah can go from 0 to 60 miles an hour in only three seconds."
Functional anatomy of the cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) forelimb

"Despite the cheetah being the fastest living land mammal, we know remarkably little about how it attains such high top speeds (29 m s−1)."

"If you could put a wild cheetah up against a greyhound in a race, the cheetah would win, no problem."

Clark Kent pretending he cant travel at supersonic speed
Did you know that those black tear lines on either side of a cheetah’s nose function like a football player’s black face paint?
They're keeping the sun out of the big cat’s eyes while they hunt.
Thank you for the info
Yeah!!! I learned it from wild kratts!!
@@siqxyre8473 Me too!
*Question. Why do cats, tigers and cheetah can't breath from their mouth? Plz show their nasal to mouth intake gateway? I can't find any referral articles to confirm on my hypothesis!* but dogs can. Why? Are cats all stupid to not breath with their mouth when nasal is blocked?
Didn't know that. Nice.
Weekly superman show
They're soooo cute they need to escape the hugs i wanna give them
They are adorable, but even ones raised around humans can still be dangerous, especially if it's someone they don't know.
@@JMcMillen cheetahs are alot nicer to humans than other big cats. But yeah everyone knows Stranger danger
Haha.. really
"Compared to us humans..."
Sure thing, Clark.
Hopefully we don't loose this amazing big cat
We lost Indian cheetahs 😢
Its so sad that almost all of the interesting and fascinating animals are endangered.😕😕
I Love Cheetahs! This was a great video, Thank You Seeker.
Speed is one thing, endurance is another; I'd love to hear your breakdown of sled dogs.
20% comments are about cheetahs
90% comments are about Henry Cavill
Sadly
@Lame Jackson 03 exactly 🤣
Such sophistication, elegance & beauty. I LOVE this animal 🙌🏽
A population going from 100,000 to 7,100 wow, imagine a world without Cheetas. That'd be odd, and sad.
Cheetah is tha fastest land animal on the planet, with the exception of my cat at 2am.
It's just so satisfying to look at animals
It’s so satisfying to look at that guy 😆
I love all the new series. I enjoy the break from just ‘elements’ and ‘Countdown to launch’
Cheetah purr...CUTE 5:11 ❤️️
The one think I learned from this video is that Cheetahs chirp..
It's really sad to see the damage we have caused them😞
Also, they are adorable bundles of stress which is why some cheetahs in conservation parks have emotional support dogs.
@@ChineduOpara They are very nervous.
@@ChineduOpara I promise you they do. Just google "Cheetah and dog" images and prepare to melt.
Hi seeker and Evan
This series tusks to tails is so interesting and gives much needed knowledge about animals..
Today learned cheetah will chirp..
Thanks...🙏👍
Love these series
So nice of you to make videos about animals other than the usual suspects (lions, elephants, deer, bears etc.).
I like all of them, but seeing the same stuff again and again becomes stale fast. Thank you for turning our attention to the rare ones!
Great series, might I suggest an episode on orcas?
Thank you Dr.Antin!!
Wtf you look like Henry Cavill😂
Cheetahs are my favourite 😊
Am I the only one to become depressed about that big number drop at the end? That's heart breaking for these amazing animals!
The inconsistent use of km and miles 😖
Most informative
Love the series! Can the next animal be a dolphin??
Cheetahs are basically bigger house cats.
Yessss!!! They Really Made This Video as I commented on the OWL VIDEO
THANKS GUYS☺️🐆
TY ☺️
I love it. Please do a video on normal small cats.
1 more question, how does cheetah dissipate heat generated from all that running? And what is approximate heat generated at top sped?
Wow those cheetahs are just gorgeous.
One small correction here. While a cheetah is relatively big, it is not considered a big cat, that's because it lacks the ability to roar.
Equally impressive is the baby gazelle it’s chasing which is ALSO running 70 mph lol.
They are amazing.
Honestly, being domesticated is their best chance at long term survival at this point
US HUMANS?
You ain't fooling nobody with that Clark Kent, or should I say SUPERMAN!
Got 'em.
First building his own PC, now informing us about Cheetahs. Henry Cavill is great
Nice video.
Hey, please cover Honeybadger!
And we adore Henry.
💙💫🙋♀️🐶
Please do a video dedicated to sloths.
i thoroughly enjoyed watching this video about my pets' bigger cousins.
Do a video on the fastest water animal 😊
Didn't realize Henry Cavill was so smart and interested in cheetahs.
1:10 Wtf. The inside of it's nose looks like a jet turbine! 😮
That's a 100km/h, without goggles, on bare paws. Wow.
My cats are Egyptian Maus, and they go across our yard and up a tree when hunting, in under 2 secs, without seeming to mind if they are running horizontally or vertically. They don't seem to touch the ground at all. Maus have been clocked running more than 48 km/h (30 mph). But they are built differently that most cats.
It would be interesting to see if their heritage could be discerned from their physiology, but that maybe redundant now with genetics analysis.
Fact : while running, cheetah take there body 80% in the air
I’d like to see a video on Mountain Lions.
This should give an idea to BOSTON DYNAMICS
So basically a supercar. Fast but impractical which is why they're endangered.
You guys should do an episode on the pangolin
3:29
Focus is the key😂
I sometimes wonder that the deers that run away and escape from a cheetah are faster?
It's unbelievable how they make the chase tougher.
The cheetah IS faster but loses speed in tight turns.
5:03
Make a video on how to increase speed
But human fingers are faster than a bullet when "tusks to tails" pops up.
Can you cover otters?
A lion and a cheetah after a race...
Lion: I lost because it wasn't fair. You're a cheetah.
Cheetah: I didn't cheat, I won fair and square.
Lion: What? I said you're a cheetah.
Cheetah: Stop lying.
Lion: Stop what?
Cheetah: Lying.
Lion: What? Okay, look. I'm a lion and you're a cheetah...
Cheetah: So you admit to lying about me cheating!
Hyena: Ha Ha Ha Ha
Dad Joke level 9000+
Please do the Philippine Eagle (Haribon) next time.
You should cover red foxes!
Cheetahs are so fast because they are trying to outrun their sins.
Cover the peregrine falcon?
I want you to cover some animals around here. They are cold.
I wonder if they produce lactic acid after running too??
Mongoose or different types of hawks.
this guy doesn't blink
Do the Kiwi bird.
Stupid thought. I remember when I was younger, Cheetara had to race Lion-O as part of his coming of age, or some such thing. Lion-O said he could never beat her in a race because she was so fact. She told him that she only had those fast bursts of speed for short periods of time. Like I said, stupid.
two buttons... only two buttons. so close, so distant

Watching the cheetah's head stay steady while it runs is just weird to watch. It makes sense, but it's just weird.
Chickens, and actually most birds do this too.
Damn
I saw superman , I click 🥰
Bill Burr: Quick Twitch
We got a Science Thor (Kyle Hill) and a Zoology Superman on you tube👍
Hope when next superman movie hits that we will still make tsese videos...
My son would like to see a video about tigers
Best animal in the world!
Fast yellow cat go eeeeeaaaayyyyoooonnnn
Oh no not the quick twitch, tred lightly
Most beautiful from cat families cheatah ♥️😍😍
Blue ringed octopus
Is he the Superman.
pronghorn antelope can go up to 55mp/h not 55 km/h! HUGE difference!
that's Superboy from Young Justice
Cheetah numbers are decreased mainly because they have a fertility problem.
Cheetah dont CHEAT ah😌
Nigerundayooooo
⚡🐆⚡
Random fact
Flamingos bend their legs at the ankle not the knee
-Shazistic
Cheetahs don’t roar like other big cats..... because they aren’t big cats (panthera).
Is there any animal's numbers did not decline in the wild due to human activity?
Homo sapiens
He doesn't look like Henry Cavill. Their mouths and noses are similar
Porsche Cheetah turbo
You can go 0-100 in 3 seconds all day everyday
