Cheetahs are super fast, and to capture them running at full speed is damn near impossible. Well, almost impossible. National Geographic shows how they captured a running cheetah and it’s pretty damn impressive: over 400 foot of perfectly level dolly track, a bevy of cameras, an able and willing cheetah and really fast instincts.

Holy shit that thing is fast. I mean I know they are the fastest animal but wow. Love the way it tries to stop at the end. Brilliant.
So they set up all that gear and made that video just to not show us what they shot?
I thought the same, I was expecting some really cool slow mo footage at the end of the video.
thanks to the lack of final footage I now feel as though something is missing in my life…
Cheetah outran the target, stopped and let it arrive at its mouth. That’s fast…
