Actually, lions sleep about 19 hours a day—an hour more than Garfield. Females do most of the hunting, and males frequently steal the kills of other predators, such as leopards and cheetahs, who are also in the cat family. Cheetahs are the fastest land animals, at up to 68⅓ miles (110 kilometers) per hour, but only for about 9.8 seconds. Cheetahs hunt small- to medium-sized antelope, such as gazelle and impala. In hunting, their success rate is about 50%, in contrast to 20% for lions. Here’s what Jon should have said:
Jon (first panel) : Cheetahs are in the cat family.
Jon (second panel) : Cheetahs are the fastest land animals, and they’re great hunters—of gazelles, for instance.
