Best Answer

Breeding occurs throughout the year. Females reach sexual maturity at around two years of age while males reach sexual maturity at around one year of age but males normally do not establish territories and thus gain breeding rights until they are about three years old.

They aren't, but they are classed as a threatened species due to a high mortality rate of Cheetah cubs caused by predation and genetic defects from inbreeding. There are a number of successful breeding programs for Cheetahs in captivity.


Do humans help or hurt cheetahs?

It depends. Poachers and farmers kill cheetahs, but some groups that are against killing the cheetahs help them. Ex: Game reserves, zoos, and tagging the cheetahs help them. Game reserves protect cheetahs from humans. Zoos let people see and observe them, also breeding them, and tagging the cheetahs helps them survive by humans being able to know more about them to know where they roam, and to observe them over time.

What was the reason for endangerment in cheetahs?

Cheetahs became endangered for multiple reasons. Farmers believed and in some cases believed rightly, that cheetahs were taking livestock. The farmers became angry at the loss of their livihood and began killing the cheetahs. Another big reason for the endangerment of cheetahs is the fact that cheetahs are severely inbred. The sperm count in male cheetahs is very low causing problems with breeding and the gene pool is not very diverse. High mortality rates among cheetah cubs is another reason for their endangerment. Cheetah cubs can become prey to other predators or they may be born with birth defects due to the lack of genetic diversity.
