Cheetahs rarely would have an opportunity to steal food as they are the smallest apex predator in their range. However, other predators, such as lions, leopards, hyenas and packs of wild African dogs will frequently steal the kill of a cheetah. In some areas, this may exceed 50% of the cheetah's kills.
