Legendary for its incredible speed, capable of reaching 70 miles per hour in the heat of the chase, the cheetah’s non-retractable claws grip the ground as its legs gather beneath the arched back and then, with amazing speed and strength, the spine stretches out to full length, propelling the cat forward to then gather its legs again and repeat the rhythmic stride. With its head held perfectly level as if connected to its prey with an invisible thread, this amazing cat can execute lightning-fast sharp turns, using its long tail for balance. This happens so fast that it can only be fully appreciated with slow motion photography or frozen in time in bronze! This installation is in Dowagiac, MI.
