* Cheetahs are the fastest land animals on Earth, reaching speeds of up to 70 mph (112 km/h) in short bursts.
* Spider monkeys are agile climbers and swing through trees with impressive speed, but their top ground speed is much slower, estimated at 20 mph (32 km/h).
So, while spider monkeys are incredibly quick in their natural arboreal environment, they can't compete with the cheetah's unmatched speed on land.
