ジャイアント・チーター The Giant European Cheetah

Wt. 90kg＋

ジャイアント・チーター　Acinonyx pardinensis

"Equal in size to a modern lion, it was indeed a giant of a cheetah.
The living cheetah is known to be the fastest runner of all animals,
galloping easily at 65 mph[103]. In this respect the giant cheetah was
probably as advanced as its living relative, judging from the skeletal elements.
A.perdinensis on the hunt must have been a fabulous sight."
