Do cheetahs have predators

Answer 1

Cheetahs have to compete with Leopards, hyenas and Lions, all of which would not hesitate to snack on a cheetah if they could catch one.
First, it is spelled "predators." Second, YES, unfortunately, the beautiful and delicate, Cheetah are the most delicate and lightest of the "large cats" of the African Plains! Lions, Leopards, Hyenas and even Baboons will all kill a Cheetah.
Adult Cheetah's have no natural enemies or predators. They are too fast to be caught by any other animal. However, the youngsters are vulnerable to animals like lions and hyenas.

Apart from this, humans are the biggest threat to cheetahs. Humans have hunted them for centuries almost wiping them out in Asia and driving them to low numbers in Africa.

Answer 2

The majority of cheetah mortality occurs when they are cubs. Predation accounts for most cub mortality. Other factors include brush fires, abandonment, exposure and inviable cubs. In one study only 5 of 125 cheetah cubs survived to adulthood.

In one study 72 of 100 cubs died before they left the lair. Eighty nine percent of these 72 cubs are killed by lions before they emerge from the lair. Hyenas, and raptors account for the rest, although there is unsubstantiated data that on one occasion cubs were killed by a male cheetah.

After emergence from the lair (less than 30% of the cubs born), the major predators are hyenas and lions (see Table below). Dogs and leopards account for 25% of post-emergence mortality.

Yes. Humans are their predators because the poachers kill them for no reason.

Cheetah's are considered Apex predators. They only have competitors not really Predators, because they aren't killied specifically for food -- this is wrong

-----------------------------

Apart from humans , Cheetah are at the top of their food chain and have not predators (that kill them for food). However Lion will kill Cheetah if they come across them because they see them as competitors.
