Sarah, an 8-year-old Cincinnati Zoo cheetah, succeeded Wednesday in setting the world speed record for land mammals. Sarah covered 100 meters in 6.13 seconds. It was her second run of the day. In her first try, she ran 100 meters in 6.16 seconds.
The zoo announced in July that the record attempt would pit Sarah against Zaza, an 8-year-old female cheetah at Cheetah Outreach in South Africa. Zaza's August 15 run in South Africa was postponed because bad weather caused a muddy track. She's expected to run in late September or early October.
