The cheetah is famend for being the arena's quickest mammal, but could also be one in every of its maximum endangered species.
Organisers of the environmentally pleasant Formula E racing series lately set up a race between one in every of their cars and a tame cheetah to focus on the affect of climate trade on the African predator.
With an acceleration of 0-100kph (62 mph) the cheetah is ready as fast off the road because the Techeetah team's racing car, and their French driver Jean-Eric Vergne - winner of July's Montreal E-Prix - agreed to tackle an it seems that tame four-footed opponent in a drag race.
Video supplied by way of Formula E presentations the cheetah taking a lead off the road but in the end dropping narrowly to the automobile, which has a best speed of 225kph (139 mph) in comparison to the animal's maximum of about 112kpm (70mph).
According to the World Wildlife Fund the cheetah is endangered because of a lack of habitat, lowered prey and direct persecution. It is listed as 'prone' within the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List of threatened species, which says only about 6,700 stay within the wild.
A graphic on the finish of the fast film, which was once shot on a landing strip in a far flung a part of South Africa's Western Cape, assures audience no animals were abused or mistreated within the manufacturing.
