Cheetah vs Tortoise

Cheetah
Acinonyx jubatus
A cheetah's tail is a rudder. It steers mid-sprint like a boat.
They prefer gazelles and other speedy snacks they can outrun.
Tortoise
Chelonoidis niger
Giant tortoises can live more than 100 years.
Cactus, grass, and island plants. They are living lawn mowers with a 100-year warranty.
Who do YOU think wins?
