   American Cheetah: Unveiling the Truth

   For decades, we've pictured miracinonyx, or the American cheetahs, as fleet-footed prairie hunters who chased down pronghorns and were among the fastest animals on Earth. Recent studies have shaken that belief to the core. Thanks to fossils found in rocky canyons and subarctic lands, and studies on their diet, we're beginning to get a clearer picture of what these majestic animals actually were. From apex predators to the planet's strangest creatures, Animalogic goes deep into the science, behavior, and biology of the animal kingdom, one species at a time.
