Question

How do gazelles outrun cheetahs easily even though cheetahs are faster?

Answer 1

North America's fastest land animal can outrun a cheetah. ... In fact, it is the second fastest land animal in the world with only the cheetah clocking faster speeds. The difference, though, is that while cheetahs can reach a faster top speed, they can only hold that speed for a few hundred yards.

Answer 2

Though cheetahs reach speeds of 75 miles an hour, gazelles sometime outrun them. A gazelle’s body mechanism and structure allow it to take longer sprints. It is also very good at dodging, by taking swift and sharp turns.

 

Gazelles are capable of reaching speeds of up to 60 miles an hour, especially when chased by predators.
