From eating. The cheetah is an apex or top level predator. There are no known predators for adult cheetahs however they can be killed by lions rarely. Cheetah's usually prey on smaller herbivores like Gazelles, Impala and Springbok. They don't have the size or strength to hunt down larger prey like zebra or wildebeest.
