Creation year

1976

The cheetah is considered to be the fastest land animal of all. It hunts prey at around 60 kilometers per hour and can accelerate even faster than that for short periods of time. Fritz wanted to express the animal’s speed in this picture. However, the zebras in the background need not fear the cheetah; they are clearly too large and heavy to match its range of prey.
