Best Answer

The cheetah is an apex or top level predator. There are no known predators for adult cheetahs however they can be killed by lions rarely. Cheetah's usually prey on smaller herbivores like Gazelles, Impala and Springbok. They don't have the size or strength to hunt down larger prey like zebra or wildebeest

They hunt at times when the sun is not at its peak. It cannot run fast & chase prey when the sun is shining at its hottest.

they have really good night vision, unlike most animals, so their prey will most likely be sleeping or not see them coming. Also, their predator is usually out during the day.
