The cheetah has several differences from other animals, to allow it to run at the speeds it does. They have claws that are semi-retractable, unlike other cats, and also rough paw pads, allowing greater traction when running. The body and fur is naturally smooth, reducing drag, the bones are light, reducing weight and the lungs are large, allowing increased breathing. However, the cheetah is designed only to sprint for short distances, as at top speed, the internal body temperature quickly rises to dangerous levels.<ref>[http://www.cheetahspot.com/speed.php Cheetahspot]</ref> Cheetahs therefore hunt at the coolest times of day – morning and evening. They stalk their prey before attacking.<ref>[http://www.cheetahspot.com/food.php Cheetahspot]</ref>

"While most scientists believe that the cheetah [[evolution|evolved]], the very oldest cheetah fossils show us an animal that is just about like the cheetahs we know today. This complete lack of evidence for evolution, plus the intelligent specialized features of the cheetah, lead us to the conclusion that the cheetah is a special creation of God."<ref>[http://www.creationmoments.net/radio/transcript.php?t=2053 Creation Moments]</ref>
