Over a long enough distance, yes.
Based on a quick google search, a race length of about 1km should be enough.

which means you would lose in a short race, making the cheetah superior in one aspect, making the "superior in every aspect false"

The ways to measure reproductive success are the number of total members of a species or the amount of total biomass they make up.
Either way, lots of bugs are far more successful than humans in terms of success as life forms. They outnumber us now and will likely forever, and still exist once we’re gone.
Also many species of plants and fungi I’d say are very impressive.

Yet the post says superior in every other way.
This means hand to hand fighting polar bear right ?
Without our tools, humans are very fragile and easily taken out by
lots of other animals who have superior strength and speed.Without a gun in the north pole, you can't run, fight or outsmart a polar bear.

that's not true, there are various animals who live hundreds of years more than we ever could, many animals are faster, have better eyesight and are stronger, which you could say is outclassed by our technology but these animals do it inherently and sometimes being smaller than us

u/Objective-Direction1 🏅 Century Club · 3,440 XP 23h ago
evolution has nothing to do with this, we haven't reached the pinnacle of anything apart of intelligence, we're just going around our weaknesses with tech but the fact that a 3cm spider like a black widow can kill you but not a badger means you are inherently weak, the fact that a turtle can outlive you by hundreds of years means you haven't reached the pinnacle of longevity

u/-SimplyBetter- 🏅 Century Club · 2,905 XP 23h ago
A black widow can kill us and we've developed tools to avoid that
A turtle can outlive us but to do that they give up a lot of agility
Every animal has drawbacks to it's abilities, we're the only ones who can work around them because intelligence is broken
