Not all zoos have a Cheetah, but they are the fastest land animal, and most of the larger zoos have them. They are not only famous for being the fastest land animal, they are also listed on the IUCN Red List with a status of "Vulnerable". This combined with the beauty of the animal makes them highly desirable to have in a zoo. For more details, please see site listed below.
