The Ghost Predator That Shaped the Fastest Animal in the USA
If you ask anyone what the fastest land animal is, they’ll say the Cheetah. But why is the world's second-fastest animal—the North American Pronghorn—running at 60 mph when its modern predators can barely hit 40? The answer lies with a "ghost" of the Pleistocene: the American Cheetah (Miracinonyx).

In today’s episode, we dive deep into the mystery of the American Cheetah. Was it truly a cheetah, or just a giant mountain lion in disguise? We explore its unique morphology, from its retractable claws to its specialized limbs, and look at the "evolutionary arms race" that forced the Pronghorn to become a speed demon.
