Scurry was named by her friends because, like most cheetahs, she is a very, very fast runner. "At two years old, I can't expect to be quite as fast as the adults around me, but I'm for sure faster than anyone else my age. My mom can run about 65 miles an hour. I'm about ten miles slower than that. Anyway, we cheetahs are the fastest land animal over short distances."
