cheetahs mainly eat meat. they eat ANY kinds of meat!!
Cheetahs use their speed and camouflage to hunt prey. Gazelle's, Impala and Springbok are the usual prey species as they are around the size that a cheetah can catch and kill.

They lie hidden in the grass and move close to its unsuspecting prey. When they are around 100 to 200 meters near the prey, they pick up a burst of speed and tackle the prey. They go for the throat thereby suffocating the prey.
meat of course

Cheetah's eat small and medium sized animals like antoplope and bufflo. To cacth there food they sneak up on the animal and when the get close enough they pounce on it. If it starts to run away the sheetah chases the animal but 1/2 the animal runs away from the cheetah.

cheetahs get their food by chasing it and 50% of the time their food gets away.

sometimes a bigger animal steals it because cheetahs are fast not strong.

but they use their nails and claws because they have nothing else but their speed.
