Don't humans have this too?
The linked paper is free to read. The actual research itself is limited to the anatomical study of how cheetah's vestibular system are different from other cats. It builds on other papers that talk about the relative advanceness of the cheetah's head stabilization, and the estimated benefits of the stabilization.
> They found that the inner ears of living cheetahs differ markedly from those of all other felids alive today, with a greater overall volume of the vestibular system and longer anterior and posterior semicircular canals.
> These traits were not present in Acinonyx pardinensis, the extinct species examined by the researchers, emphasizing the recent evolution of the highly specialized inner ear of modern cheetah.
I also wonder if there is some technology or lesson we can learn from this, more than just learning about our world and the animals in it. Either way it's fine, but it's always fun to wonder about the opportunity.
It's something you'll see a trained ballerina do when twirling, but I'm not about to say humans walk on their toes.
