Endurance

  1. Have a friend that is a UNC Grad from Morganton, NC, circa 1985ish. Used to call Clempson the "Cheeetahs" due to the old Danny Ford Days (Football HC then).

    Guess where his daughter & son graduated from. You get one guess. Pure irony.

  2. 250 meters of full speed is not endurance just quick bursts of speed. After a high-speed chase they need to rest for 1/2 hour before they eat their prey.

    1. Agreed! I was just going to mention your point. Also, during that 1/2 or so, they often lose their prize to some other predator from buzzards, to Jackels, to lions.... not a thing they can do about it but go take down another. They often only get a few bites of the prize before it's lost on the best of days. Cheetahs have a tough life.
