There's many angles of this question I need to cover so first, no not really. A lion, tiger, leopard, jaguar, bear, etc. could easily king a cheetah because they're so fragile. A tiger is the strongest/largest big cat in the world. But, the mosquito kills over 1 million people each year because of the disease they carry (But I don't really think a little is much of a predator). Anyway, humans are top predator in the food chain because we can kill ANY animal in the world. P.S. Sorry that was so long.

∙ 12y agoYes. 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.

∙ 9y agoNo, they are not. A cheetah can be killled by a lion rarely. The main predator of a cheetah is us, humans. It is really horrible because we skin them for bags and boots. Cheetahs predators are lions, hyenas, and leopards. These predators would not hesitate to snack on a cheetah if they could catch one. Most of the predators hunt them when they are infants. They include raptors and wild dogs. However, some poachers kill them for their skin.
