Cheetahs: The Deadly Race. Witness life and death duels as they unravel under the fierce Kalahari sun. The two competitors are a swift and graceful antelope and the fastest predator on land. Springbok and cheetah have evolved together pushing each other to greater and greater competitive skills and spectacular speeds. This is a contest that leaves only the quick - or the dead. Join National Geographic as we observe the lives of these two exceptional creatures and the events that form their lives against the dramatic backdrop of the Kalahari, its changing seasons, its occasional riot of blossoms and the many other animals, which share this harsh environment.
