Normally, cheetahs will run away from danger, because a big injury can rob a cheetah of it's ability to hunt, and it would die. They are not "wimps," they are just very intelligent. But a mother cheetah with cubs is a different story. When confronted with a danger such as a lion, a cheetah can dash and swerve aroung the lion, hissing, snarling, and lashing out with her claws, while avoiding the lion's frantic blows. This makes the lion dizzy, not to mention completely freakes it out, and even a male lion will flee from the feirce cheetah. (so much for the"king", a tiger would never flee like that...)
