Run, Run Cheetah...

A cheetah's feet don't touch the ground for more than half of the time it's running.

A cheetah can complete up to three strides per second, with only one foot on the ground at any time and several stages when feet don't touch the ground at all. Hard, ridged foot pads and blunt, nonretractable claws maximize traction with the ground.

Pictures Of The Week - Big Cats Making Faces

But this guy seems kind of fun.

Seeing the two faces together reminded us of a very human occurrence; that of two siblings squabbling - one getting mad while the other makes faces. Do you see it?
