CINCINNATI, Ohio (CNN) - Take a look at this record breaking kitty. The Cincinnati Zoo's 11-year-old cheetah, Sarah, is now the world's fastest land mammal.
The big cat ran 100-meters in 5.95 seconds, beating her 2009 record.
It takes the world's fastest human, Olympian Usain Bolt, 9.58 seconds to clear that distance.
Zoo officials say Sarah was clocked sprinting at 61 miles-per-hour.
