2012 Young Collectors Animal Athletes - Cheetah

The fastest mammal on land, the super-charged cheetah can reach incredible speeds of up to 113 kilometres an hour over short distances. Compare this to the fastest human who can run, arguably, at speeds of around 37 kilometres per hour.
The cheetah sometimes perches in high places to watch for prey.
When it sights a likely victim, the cheetah begins to stalk. It creeps as close as possible before the attack. It may lift its head high to keep the prey in sight, but it keeps its body hidden. The cheetah is hard to see because its spotted coat blends with the tall, dry grass of its surroundings.

A great gift for any budding young collector, the coin is housed in an illustrated presentation card. The card folds out with fantastic illustrations and information about the kangaroo and its behaviour.

This coin in card is available individually.
