All right, so I fibbed! I'm giving you one more episode for tonight. It's about the cheetah, the fastest land animal on earth. These guys are my favourite wild cats because of their speed, and also because they are the underdogs of the wild cat world. Cheetahs CAN run up to 70 miles per hour (or 120 kilometres per hour), but they can't fight back against a lion or hyena, because if the cheetahs ever did, they would wind up dead meat. In this episode, Chris and Martin learn about the cheetah, its features and vulnerability due to its weak genome, and how rough life can be for a mom and her cubs on the African savannah. Along the way, the wacky brothers try their best to match cheetah speed: bicycling, using a brand-new creature jeep (which was successful), and even using "Ken" the hippo test dummy for an "experiment". A great and fun episode, if I do say so myself! Of all the episodes, this one proved to be the most fun and entertaining. Have a good night!
