Hmm.
Blur lures away lions with her cheetah speed to keep her cub safe, because little cubs can't run fast yet.
Check out the racing stripe!
Black fur on his back with a white stripe down the middle.
I wonder why a cheetah cub has that, and his mom doesn't?
Hey, where is his mom?
I'll use my cheetah vision to find her.
There she is!
Here we go, a cheetah hunt.
She has to catch a gazelle to feed her cub.
Whoo!
There goes the fastest land animal on the planet.
At 70 miles per hour!
♫ What about that one?
(Trumpeting) Too gray and wrinkly.
Boring.
Oh, there's another.
Too many stripes.
I'm getting dizzy!
Ooh, how about that one?
Too tan and hairy.
None of this will work for my line of safari winter wear.
Hmm?
Stop the car!
That's it!
Spots and speed, spectacular!
AVIVA: Look at those crazy turns!
My cheetah racer has to turn like that.
Blur has to catch him fast, or she'll run out of energy.
Yeah, this wild cat can only run at top speed for 545 yards.
Or 45 seconds.
Before she's totally exhausted.
(Gasping) Oh, just missed.
And now she can't run fast at all, and is really vulnerable to predators like-- The lion!
Uh-oh.
Where's the lion?
Phew.
He's walking away.
Well, that's good.
But I meant, really vulnerable to predators like Donita Donata!
Blur, look out!
I don't know much about nature, but I do know one thing about cheetahs: once they've run, they're done.
