cheetahs



When measured over a short distance,the cheetah can maintain a steady maximum speed of about 62 mph on level ground. Thats's almost the national speed limit! The fastest land mammal overall is the cheetah and there is a great shot of it directly above.

The fastest bird




The red-breasted merganser, the eider, the canvasback and the spur-winged goose can reach up to 56-62 mph (90-100km\h).It is the fastest bird in level flight in the world.

Here is a great picture of a red-breasted merganser in action.

Save the manatees


Save the Manatees because manatees come up to the surface and that's why boats are one of the manatees worst enemies.I really thank
The manatees are
vulnerable they will become extinct
if you do not help. So save the manatees and be part of nature.
Many people are going to be part of this so if you don't join you're
making the biggest mistake in you're life because your not going to help or be part of this program. So please help the manatees.
Update: Thanks to Katinula I learnd that manatees are endangered because they come up so close to the surface of the water. Then that's when boats do something very horrible... they run them over. I really thank Katinula because I learned something from her.
