I’d run pretty fast too if I had to escape from a cheetah or a jaguar chasing me in the jungle...

Jaguars are unknown in Africa and live in the rainforests of Central and South America.

Cheetahs do not live in West African jungles but in southeastern African grasslands - the region where human distance runners, not sprinters, come from.

The fastest human in recorded history cannot run at a rate of 30mph for more than a few seconds. A cheetah can run 60mph for upwards of 20 seconds.

No human being ever escaped a cheetah by running.
