Young cheetahs face numerous threats. Lions, leopards, hyenas all may prey on young cheetahs, up until they are around a year old, then they are much too fleet for these predators to catch.
One theory scientist have, is that long ago cheetas were so close to extintion, that they started breeding with there siblings, so there genes are so alike, they are likely to be born with deformatys, or die at birth.
A cheetah can have up to 2-5 cubs, however there has been a cheetah that has had 8 cubs apparently
it has 2-7
They do defend the cubs. One way they do is to hide them and draw the threat away from the cubs. A good example of this is in the movie CHEETAH.
Cheetah cubs are given several children a day at regular intervals. At least the ones in captivity.
Like a cheetah but smaller and cuter
The offspring of a cheetah is called a cub. A cheetah can have from one to six cubs in a litter, but some can have up to nine cubs.
no, but a mother cheetah once scared away a male lion to defend her baby. yes because of its cuteness! yes that happened, a female cheetah beat off a lion to protest her cubs.
Well cheetah young aren't exactly kittens a better word would be cub.
The cheetah cubs are cared for by the mother cheetah for about eighteen months. The father has no part in raising the baby animals. The mother nurses the cubs, and protects them from predators, as a large number of tiny cubs fall victim to other animals. The mother later teaches them to hunt.
The number of cubs born to a cheetah can vary from one to eight, though the common number is three to five.
No. Oddly enough cheetah cubs are very rare in the sea. Whales have never been known to eat them
The Hyena may eat Cheetah's cubs... not too sure.
