Get up to speed with the fastest big cat on International Cheetah Day. 🐆 Did you know that cheetahs can sprint at speeds of up to 70 mph? During a 20 second chase, their feet will barely touch the ground! Today serves as a reminder that these incredible mammals are facing challenges. Currently listed as vulnerable, fewer than 12,500 cheetahs remain in the wild. By supporting the Zoo, you support conservation efforts on behalf of this amazing species. #zoo #marylandzoo #animals #allforanimals #cheetah #cheetahs #internationalcheetahday #conservation #wildlife
