Simply put, one of the most amazing nature videos I've ever seen:

http://vimeo.com/53914149

At the Cincinnati Zoo, they took four or five cheetahs and had them run a straight line, chasing after something, at 60 MPH. Along that line they had a camera track, and the camera moved with them, filming at 1200 frames per second. Slowed down, half a second stretches out to nearly half a minute. They then show the cheetahs, from multiple angles and in pretty amazing slow motion, as they run at top speed after these things. It's amazing to see the way they move.

At the end is a quick behind the scenes thing while the credits roll, showing how they set up, and then at the very end showing the cheetah running at full speed towards the object they're chasing. Breathtaking how fast they can move. Not hard to see why they're the fastest runners on the planet.
 
Who doesn't? The world's going to end sometime.

Eventually, it will literally cease to exist. Swallowed up by the sun. Oceans boiled away. Land baked free of anything that isn't rock. Environment blasted away into interstellar space. And then, bloop, evaporated by the expanding, red giant of a sun.

Sweet dreams!

Well... aren't You a ray of flowers and sunshine... !!!!
