Best Answer

Cheetahs prefer impala and Gazelles, because they are small enough to catch. They eat about 6 lbs of meat per day. Other items on their menu are gnu (bird), warthog, or even an occasional wildebeest calf. They also like antelope, elephant, and zebra.

As no-one preys on this animal, then it comes top of the food chain, although that depends on what eats what.
Antilope, hares, zebras,
The cheetah is a carnivore, eating mostly mammals under 40 kg (88 lb), including the Thomson's gazelle, the Grant's gazelle, the springbok and the impala. The young of larger mammals such as wildebeests and zebras are taken at times, and adults too, when the cats hunt in groups. Guineafowl and hares are also prey.
The cheetahs' prey are impalas, Thompsons' gazelle, African antelpoes,

and last but not least, jackels.
They often eat Gazelles, but will also eat small mammals (such as hares) or birds
Cheetahs eat mainly gazelle, antelope, game birds, and hares. A cheetah will NEVER eat what it doesn't kill.
Well since they are carnivores, (meat eaters) they eat pretty much all types of animals that are in their natural habitats.

Blesbok, duiker, Grant's gazelle, impala, reedbuck, springbok, and Thomson's gazelle are some of the common targets of the cheetah. Other prey animals include the bat-eared fox, bushbuck, kudu, hartebeest, nyala, oribi, roan antelope, steenbok, sable antelope, and waterbuck; they prey less frequently on African buffalo, gemsbok, giraffe, ostrich, warthog, wildebeest, and zebra and usually only the young of these animals as the adults are too large for the cheetah to take down.

Lions have no natural predators. Lions are Apex Predators that are on the top of their food chain and have no natural predators that can kill adult lions. However young lions are vulnerable to Hyena's. Also, adult Elephants, Rhino's or Hippo's can injure or even kill lions when there is a face off but that happens very rarely.

The cheetah is an apex predator and is rarely preyed upon by other animals. However, lions, leopards, hyenas and packs of African wild dogs will kill and eat baby cheetahs.

Hyenas will prey on young lions and large Nile crocodiles will occasionally kill and eat adult lions they encounter in their environment.
