Yes, when the cheetah is a newborn, it has a black and white stripe down its back, similar to that of the honey badger. This is called mimicry. When a predator is nearby, the baby cheetah lies down with its stripe facing up and tricks the predator into thinking that the cub is a honey badger. Predators generally avoid honey badgers because of their violence. The excellent use of mimicry by a baby cheetah helps it to survive in the wilderness
