How many muscles do cheetahs have?

Cheetahs have approximately 600 muscles in their bodies, which contribute to their remarkable speed and agility. Their muscle structure is specifically adapted for sprinting, with a high proportion of fast-twitch fibers that enable rapid acceleration. This muscular system, combined with their unique skeletal structure, allows cheetahs to reach speeds of up to 60-70 miles per hour in short bursts.
