Best Answer

Though the cheetah is the fastest land animal on earth, the expenditure of energy is tremendous.
Having killed a prey, the cheetah must rest, and eat. But, if the cheetah has cubs, or there are lions and hyenas about, the cheetah often has to leave the kill and quickly move away.

After an intense chase, a cheetah may need nearly an hour to recuperate before they are able to eat.
