the science behind this^ :cheetahs have special bacteria embedded in their paws. These groundhateus bacteria really detest the ground, and this repulsive force allows them to hover, or 'floatywalk' as it is known. It is a symbiotic relationsip with the cheetah, and the cat can secrete noreallyitsjustgroundin hormone, which reassures the bacteria and allows the cheetah to appear normal at will.
