Native to Africa, the cheetah is the fastest land animal in the world and can reach up to 112 kilometers per hour in three seconds. The cheetah's physique is all about speed. Its slender body and long, thin legs are particularly suited to high acceleration. Despite its size, the cheetah does not belong to the subspecies of big cats, such as lion and tiger, but to the subspecies of small cats. They hunt during the day and have black tear marks under their eyes to serve as an anti-glare effect. They can be recognized by their golden yellow fur, which is dotted with black spots. The strictly limited **Australia Zoo Cheetah Premium Bullion Coin** is delivered in the original box including a numbered certificate of authenticity from the Royal Australian Mint.
