Nope, that would be the Peregrine Falcon
People probably call it ‘trash’ because it’s overspecialized and doesn’t have much going for it outside of speed';

The Falcon is a Bird though, not an Animal.

Yeah and sloths are overspecialized because their only defense is being so calorie inefficient that it isn't worth the trouble hunting them 90% of the time. Overspecialization doesn't make an animal "bad" and this shitty TierZoo esque powerscaling of nature is a really shitty way to look at things in general.';

'>>4772039
They're overspecialized, they can't defend their kills or cubs from other predators, and they're so genetically similar that their populations are super vulnerable to disease. They're living on borrowed time.

What’s the difference in your mind';

'You fuckers are ignoring the fact that cheetah-like felids have independently and convergently evolved to be extremely fast terrestrial predators several times with the American cheetah and the Giant cheetah to name a few.

So again, tier zoo sucks and is a hack, there are no OP creatures, there are no low tier creatures. Things work until they don't and there's little inbetween since niches and environments fluctuate which leads to different means of surviving while some more specialized animals get left behind.';

Birds are animals. Fish are animals. Insects are animals.
The cheetah is an animal and it is also a mammal.
Perhaps you mean that the cheetah is the fastest mammal in the world.
Yes, the cheetah is the fastest mammal in the world.
Whether the cheetah is "better" than a lion is a ridiculous question.
All currently existing animals, fungi, bacteria and plants are the current (temporary) pinnacle of evolution. They are all the result of literally billions of years of uninterrupted successful reproduction. Even you.';

Putting a wild animal in a cage and then putting the cage in your house does not mean that you have domesticated a species.';

'>>4774247
the species is so friendly to humans that there is not even a single documented case of anyone being killed by a wild one.

You can turn your back from one, you can be close to it, you can even pet it.

Tigers are fine, but they're also IRL monsters that will rip you limb from limb if given the opportunity, whereas cheetahs routinely get mogged out of their kills by hyenas and require emotional support dogs to exist in captivity';

'>>4784060
It's true. They tend to do poorly in captivity in zoos where tons of people are looking at them because it stresses them out. If they're stressed enough they won't drink or eat enough which can cause all sorts of problems, particularly with their kidneys.

So many zoos pair cheetah cubs with dogs so that the cheetah can reference their own response off of the dog's and not be an anxious wreck all day. It works surprisingly well actually, and the paired cheetahs tend to have way less trouble with crowds and people than the solo ones.';

it gets bullied hard by all other predators in its natural habitat. It's very very cute and good at its niche niche but that's it. Badass predators like lions and the like have big dick energy and appeal to the male fantasy, as opposed to get bullied all the time.';

>gets his meal mogged by a single hyena pack';

'>>4785276
Nope. If anything the dogs occasionally bully the cheetahs, but that's also rare.

Cheetahs really aren't big on mauling things. Their claws are blunted and non-retractible, so they're basically only used to help them with traction while running really fucking fast, and their teeth aren't really big enough to rip into things the way that a lion or tiger could. They generally kill their prey by clamping down on the throat and cutting off oxygen until the prey suffocates for those exact reasons.

I'm also pretty sure that that the dog would win if it actually came down to a knock down drag out fight. But that's never been an issue since they're socialized and raised together basically from birth.';

How is a cheetah winning a fight against a polar bear for example? bitting and running until the polar bear bleeds out?';

'>>4785276
Cheetahs are overgrown housecats, not true big cats. They have ancestral knowledge telling them that if they were smaller, the dogs would eat them.';

'>>4785533
It would run really fast until the polar bear's neck snaps from whipping its head around to keep track of it, easy. They can never lose because they're the fastest';
