Cheetahs reproduce sexually, using Allogamy or cross-fertilization, the fertilization of an ovum from one individual with the spermatozoa of another.

Cheetahs reach sexual maturity at approximately 20-23 months. There is no set breeding season, so cubs are born all year round. Gestation is 90-95 days. The litter size can vary from 1 to 8 cubs, but on average 3 cubs are born. Fewer than 1/3 survive to adulthood. Birth weight: 8-11 oz. Up to 12" long. Eyes open between 2-11 days. Mothers raise the cubs, they hide them in bushes or in dense grass with hiding places changed every few days.
By mating like every living thing.
Acinonyx jubatus, as a member of the family Felidae, conducts sexual reproduction.
Females reach maturity within twenty to twenty-four months, and males around twelve months (although they do not usually mate until at least three years old), and mating occurs throughout the year. A recent study of cheetahs in the Serengeti showed that female cheetahs are sexually promiscuous and often have cubs by many different males.[9] Females give birth to up to nine cubs after a gestation period of ninety to ninety-eight days, although the average litter size is three to five. Cubs weigh from 150 grams (5.3 oz) to 300 grams (11 oz) at birth. Unlike some other cats, the cheetah is born with its characteristic spots. Cubs are also born with a downy underlying fur on their necks, called a mantle, extending to mid-back. This gives them a mane or Mohawk-type appearance; this fur is shed as the cheetah grows older. It has been speculated that this mane gives a cheetah cub the appearance of the ratel, to scare away potential aggressors.[10] Cubs leave their mother between thirteen and twenty months after birth. Life span is up to twelve years in the wild, but up to twenty years in captivity. Unlike males, females are solitary and tend to avoid each other, though some mother/daughter pairs have been known to be formed for small periods of time. The cheetah has a unique, well-structured social order. Females live alone except when they are raising cubs and they raise their cubs on their own. The first eighteen months of a cub's life are important - cubs learn many lessons because survival depends on knowing how to hunt wild prey species and avoid other predators. At eighteen months, the mother leaves the cubs, who then form a sibling, or "sib" group, that will stay together for another six months. At about two years, the female siblings leave the group, and the young males remain together for life.
