It is general knowledge that cheetahs while able to run fast in short bursts do not have the stamina to last in a long race.

My thoughts exactly. I thought cheetah's run at 50km/h? The men must have used an automobile to chase the animals.
automobile in bush or on tard? No mind them, na trap dem use catch am! U can't chase an ordinary dog and chatch it, talkless of animal that looks like tiger

Cheetahs are the fastest animal, but they can do this over a short distance.
so 4 miles na short distance?

dozai: Cheetahs are the fastest animal but can only run for 30 seconds or their brain will overheat and next is death. Thats why among the carnivores, They are not on top of the food chain, even wolves are above them, I guess they were given a slow but steady marathon race but they themselves can only run at high speed for 30 seconds. Thats how they were wired, Its a fact.
Leave him, let him continue quoting P. N Okeke, when all he should have done was to simple read up on cheetahs anatomy, lifestyle etc. Anyway Nigerians are too theoretical!

no animal in d world can run 4 as low as 21sec. & get tired. Reason na..
BTW tanx 4 d correction

21 on TOP SPEED I said.a cheetah reaches top speed but can't sustain that speed for a long time or else it will die,if it doesn't catch the prey within that time,it will promptly abandon the chase.You can do your research if you like. I believe the story,I think the men wore it out as we've been told,you know the kenyans are naturally talented long distance runners,the cheetah can never run such a long range at full speed at one single dash.

You're welcome.

according to natgeo wild cheetahs cant run fast for long because of over heatin .juhs like a car...if dey run for too long widowt rest d heat generated can kill dem...xo not suprising..i cud actually catch a cheetah..slow nd steady...

not supported.. Dier initial acceleration is enough 2 give humans a zero view dat u loose right of dem....unless d area is enclosed.
Besides..... kenyans are long distane loggers not long distance runners...certainly not enough 2 capture a cheetah

Lolzzz, they can't kip up dat speed for long.. Ofcourse u know sprinting and trying to evade a chaser are two different things, running away from someone or sumtin involves several twists and turns, so u can't be running at maximum speed except u re on a track or straight path which is highly unlikely... That was probably d case with the cheetah...
Re: Kenyan Men Chase & Capture Cheetahs, That Were Killing Their Goats by raficki87(m): 7:06pm On Nov 20, 2013
in kenyan villages one of the rights of passage before you be a man is to catch a lofe antelope(a fast animal) so the young man goes out with two older men with a container of water so they chase the antelope. you should note that this chase is more of tracking the animal through its footprint so most of the race they dont see the antelope, as they track and get closer to it bcuz of the noise and movement the antelope runs again before it rest properly so accumulared fatigue and most especially dehydration and the hot sun after about 4-5 hours the antelope wont run again even when it hears footsteps due to fatigue
NB:the final 2-5 kilometers is done only by the young guy trying to be a man/adult. and when he catches it he kneels down and pray to the gods for the meal before he slits its throat.
so you guys that dont believe should not be myopic because this is a long/endurance race +they had water with them which the animals dont. and they dont use bows and arrows bcuz its a sin. you must capture an animal and PRAY TO THE GODS ;if not you are comiting an abomination

dude, i got ur point. They arent actually behind the animals in the pursuit. No way they could have outran those 'machine on four runners'. Lemme remind ya, they are crude; classic africans with animal trackin skiils, they are 'wild' and natural in their physiology. Civilization and technolgical developments has taken this ability from most of us.

Cheetahs are the fastest land animals, however they have a tendency to overheat, just as a car does. so to compensate for thier compromised lungs, they can only sustain the very blinding speed for short periods, fortunately for them, that's all it takes to catch and kill an impala, thier common prey. Now a marathoner chasing a cheetahs in the wide open ranges of the Serengeti has an advantage of sustainability, even on a trot, as sooner or later he will catch up with the severely tired cheetah, sitting somewhere under a shade catching his breath from his initial burst of speed.

What 'kenyan villages'? Kenya is a country with 43+ tribes so you can figure out the villages and stop generalizing.
The Masai tribe people talk about are not long distance runners either. They are Good Herders with lots of cattle competing with the wild for pasture in THEIR REGION, not the whole Kenya.
-Please note that Wild hunting is ILLEGAL in Kenya, that is why they couldn't kill it.

Since I do not see any co-relation btwn this story and our marathoners, I can only say that catching wild is possible if you understand the animal's psychology and these guys do very well.

And the part in bold type is the key. Like I said earlier, the report didn't say that they outran the cheetahs. It said that they hunted it down. Animals might have the brawn/speed advantage, but human can out-think them (note that there was more than one human involved).
