MARTIN: So, Blur, ready to have some fun?
She has you in her sights, Chris.
How's this looking for gazelle behavior?
MARTIN: Blur likes what she's seein'.
A cheetah looks for a gazelle who isn't paying attention.
So I'll just focus on looking for some nice gazelle grass.
(Humming) Too green, nah, too dry, too spiky.
MARTIN: The cheetah stalks as closely as she can.
A cheetah can run super fast, but only for a short time.
The gazelle can't run as fast, but can run for longer.
So, before she makes her move, a cheetah tries to get close.
She's getting pretty close!
KOKI: She's getting really close!
Pan Am dropseed grass, nutritious, high in fibre.
WILD KRATTS TEAM: Chris!
(Snuffling) Oh, ahh...!
Whoo hoo!
(Panting, laughing) Whoa-ho!
MARTIN: A cheetah runs with long strides!
At top speed, each stride carries 25 feet, the length of a small school bus.
It's the backbone!
Look at that, it's bending!
When it bends down, it stretches the legs out further, so each stride is longer.
So the cheetah covers more ground with each step.
Uh oh!
She's catching up.
Too fast, must engage evasive maneuvers.
The ga-zig-zag.
MARTIN: He's going with the ga-zig-zag.
KOKI: The ga-zig-zag?
MARTIN: Yeah, the gazelle zig-zag, the ga-zig-zag!
Trying to throw the cheetah off!
But the cheetah can ga-zig-zag, too.
She's staying on Chris' tail.
Speaking of tails, look at the cheetah's, it's whipping right, left, up, down, right, left, keeping the cheetah on balance.
Oh, she's catching up!
Whoo hoo!
I can't shake her!
Ahh-- Whoa...!
Oof!
The bendable backbone feature is exactly what I need.
(Sighing) (Blur snarling) CHRIS: Oh, oh, don't look at me like that.
