Can the study of astranomy help to determine the winner of a greyhound race?

This would seem to explain why a cheetah came to be built like it is. Or, vice versa maybe.

As in, the fact that a Cheetah is built like that explains that there is a limit to acceleration?

It would appear that an animal could gain a bit of additional initial acceleration by putting its tail between its legs (or over its back) (putting its CoG further forward). I can’t say as how I’ve ever seen that adaptation.

Maybe physics came to be this way because of cheetah? is that what you’re implying?

interesting. not sure what vice versa would mean in the context you put it in though

vice versa? I’m confused. Is the cheetah supposed to explain?
