Who'd win in a play fight between a cheetah and a dog? You'd think this would be one occasion when the cat would come out on top, wouldn't you? But apparently not...

This adorable new video from Cincinnati Zoo shows Savanna the cheetah cub and Max her puppy playmate hanging out together in the zoo's Cheetah Encounter. We particularly like the moment when Max hurdles across Savanna's back.

According to zoo experts, the pair will grow up together and become firm friends as dogs and cheetahs are very similar. Just fancy that! You learn something new and amazing every day.
