How fast can a cheetah eat an antelope? Do you know how fast a cheetah can run? Can you tell me if human can run as fast as dog? How big is rhinoceros and a hippo?

Hi Aracely,
Wow, you have a lot of questions! Let's start with cheetahs.
1) After catching an antelope the cheetah is out of breath and needs to rest maybe 15 to 30 minutes before eating. If nothing bothers her or him, the cheetah will eat for about 30-60 minutes. But they rarely eat the whole antelope themselves. Other animals like lions, hyenas, jackals and vultures clean up what the cheetah can't finish.
2) Cheetahs are the fastest land mammals. Cheetahs can run up to 113 kph.
3) No, humans can not run as fast as most dogs.
4) Rhinos average 2-3m long and weigh up to 3,600kg. (you can find more on
Glossopedia. Click on the picture below to explore Rhinos.)
)Hippos weigh about 1,200 to 1,800 kilograms.
Thanks for the great questions,
