Amazing high definition footage of cheetah's reaching 60 mph show the sprint king of the jungle's effortless speed | Mail Online - Stunning slow motion footage of graceful cheetah's running at speeds in excess of 60 mph have been captured in slow motion in full high definition glory. Filmed for National Geographic by a Phantom high speed camera and recorded at 1200 frames per second, every rippling sinew of the cheetah's body can be seen to move - almost floating in the air as all four paws lift off the ground. Using five of the athletic big cats from Cincinnati Zoo, the footage was filmed as the cheetah's chased a furry lure and incredibly in some cases the beast's almost managed to catch it.
