Not just its head, its whole body. Its whole body stays consistently stable each time its paws land and push off.
Great video of cheetahs running full speed @ 1200 fps

This is why cats > dogs
Yeah and don't forget the Guide Cats for the Blind, the Hearing Cats for the Deaf, the Bomb sniffing Cats, the Drug sniffing Cats, the Fire/Sea/Natural Disaster Rescue Cats, the Police Cats, all the Sheep and Cattle Cats, the Sled Cats, the Guard Cats that protect you and your property and all those other Cats that have saved countless Human lives over the centuries.

That chicken freaked me out.
Quite a few species have evolved this. It's so they can keep tabs on their prey as if they were stood still watching it. Helps for precision. As said before, the Kestrel is a good example.
If I had a cheetah id train it to do all that + more!
Rubbish. Humans are both amazing generalists and stunning specialists in some things. Some animals are specialised to superhuman levels in their specialised area, but it's ridiculous to say that any other animals, let alone all other animals, are superior overall to humans.

Camera man has amazingly steady hands, and to keep up with a cheetah while moving sideways?? Give that man a medal.
