The "Acinonyx jubatus" is the fastest land animal

Really? I thought the fastest was the cheetah. Well, if you like animals and zoology you may know that "Acinonyx jubatus" is the scientific name for the cheetah. In 18th century Swedish scientific Carl Linnaeus introduced a system of naming animals, plants and other organisms called binomial nomenclature, giving each organism a scientific name composed of two latin words. For example, if you have a cat, you should know that its scientific name is "Felis catus", although you have probably chosen a more friendly name for your pet. Another example is the "Sequoia sempervirens", commonly known as the California redwood, one of the tallest trees in the world.
