14 DAY TRIAL // An 11-year-old cheetah named Sarah just established a new world speed record, running 100 meters (0.062 miles) in just 5.95 seconds.
True, this animal might be built for sprinting, but this doesn't mean that its achievement isn't impressive, to say the least. According to official reports, Sarah managed to reach the top speed of 98 kph (61 mph), and pretty much cast a shadow on Usain Bolt's running abilities.
Seeing how this particular cheetah is part of the Cat Ambassador Program run by the Cincinnati Zoo, it is expected that its record-breaking sprint will draw some much needed media attention and help set in motion conservation projects aimed at protecting this endangered species.
From where we stand, this event goes to show that most of the times, when it comes to physical strength, whatever humans do, animals can pretty much do better.
You can see Sarah racing in front of the cameras in the video below.
