Science Facts: High-speed Poaching

In 2012, a cheetah completed a 100-meter dash in 5.95 seconds, beating the human record (9.58 seconds) by 3.63 seconds, the record time for loading 8 rounds into a shotgun and firing the first shot. The exact implications of this are unclear, but I'll let you put two and two together.
