Since we’ve already seen how people capture a photograph of a cheetah running at full speed, it makes sense to see the other side: the slow motion footage of a cheetah running. It’s mother naturally beautiful.
Here’s how National Geographic pulled it off:
Using a Phantom camera filming at 1200 frames per second while zooming beside a sprinting cheetah, the team captured every nuance of the cat’s movement as it reached top speeds of 60+ miles per hour.
The extraordinary footage that follows is a compilation of multiple runs by five cheetahs during three days of filming.

im not sure when it happened but at some point all i saw was slomo cheetah balls ..
Due to your comment, I went into the video looking for slow motion cheetah balls and came out bitterly disappointed.
also “It’s mother naturally beautiful.” That is bloody cringeworthy
Look at the stillness of the head and the economy and fluidity of motion. Beautiful and elegant.
