Tail like a rudder

in #animal6 years ago

The cheetah has a long, muscular tail that has a flat shape. The tail almost functions like a rudder on a boat because they use it to help control their steering and keep their balance when running very fast.tail.jpg

It's pretty interesting the adaptations that animals have made over time. The sleak body of the cheetah is a good example. High speeds, but only short durations. Quick, but not as string as some of the other large cats.
