> I believe "which" here refers back to the whole sentence - "cheetahs can run fast". So you need to remove "move". For the same reason, adding "on land" as the answer says is awkward. And adding "do" is wrong.
Cheetahs can run fast, which they can't move in water.
Lions can live in the savanna, which they can't in the jungle.

Regarding ^ question, @M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ just private messaged me: I just know they're talking about me. I haven't slept for days and can't stop crying about it.

For the two words-ness, I extrapolated from the languages I know to this ancient Gandalf language that makes Englishers seem smart and I unscientifically concluded it must be two words
Can you please help me parse this sentence:
The best way to enjoy a fine wine is slowly.
Please explain the structure of the sentence. I am mostly having trouble with slowly after is.
I generally don't follow the terminology and framework of A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language (CGEL) by Quirk et al., rather I follow The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language (CaGEL). But at times I do read CGEL. It is during one of those reading session I came across this:
