Are black panthers faster than a cheetah?

No. ?The fastest land animal is the Cheetah which is capable of approximately 70 miles per hour. ?

The relatively slow .45 calibre round has a muzzle velocity of approximately 850 feet per second. ?

850 feet per second x 60 seconds = 5100 feet per minute

5100 fpm * 60 minutes = 3, 060,000 feet per hour.

3060000 / 5280 (feet in a mile) = approximately 570 miles per hour. ?This is more than enough speed to overtake a Cheetah, much less a panther.
