Savanna from the Zoos Cat Ambassador may not have been raised in the wild, but that didn’t slow her down any. The cheetah was recently fitted with a GoPro on her back and gave viewers an idea of what it’s like to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in three seconds.
Unsurprisingly, going from stationary to flying across the ground at times that are faster than most cars can hit 60mph is a bit bumpy.
“You wouldn’t want to ride a cheetah,” said Cincinnati Zoo Director, Thane Maynard. “What amazes me is that their head stays fairly steady even though their body is going wild.”
Fitting a cheetah with a mounted camera sounds a bit dangerous, but Savanna has been hand raised and is use to wearing items like harnesses and collars, so the camera didn’t seem out of place.
