Best Answer

A cheetah once saved a human from a lion, at a zoo in the USA. The lions' and cheetah's pen were place beside eachother, and a male lion noticed a spot where the Fencing was loose. A zookeeper was standing near this area of weak Fencing, unaware of the lion heading straight toward him. The cheetah DID notice, however, and dashed toward the lion's exhibit. The lion was pressing up against the side of the fence as it walked, and so she ran over-- and aimed a blow through the chain-link fence at the lion. The lion's surprised snarl alerted the zookeeper, and he quikly tranquilized the lion and got help fixing the fence. They also thickened the space between the two pens, because they knew that if the cheetah could hurt the lion, the lion could hurt the cheetah. The half-tame cheetah earned extra treats, not to mention extra hugs, as rewards for saving a human being with no reason whatsoever-- exept for the obvious: the ability to tell right from wrong.

Do humans help or hurt cheetahs?

It depends. Poachers and farmers kill cheetahs, but some groups that are against killing the cheetahs help them. Ex: Game reserves, zoos, and tagging the cheetahs help them. Game reserves protect cheetahs from humans. Zoos let people see and observe them, also breeding them, and tagging the cheetahs helps them survive by humans being able to know more about them to know where they roam, and to observe them over time.
