Adult Cheetah's have no natural enemies or predators. They are too fast to be caught by any other animal. However, the youngsters are vulnerable to animals like lions and hyenas.

Apart from this, humans are the biggest threat to cheetahs. Humans have hunted them for centuries almost wiping them out in Asia and driving them to low numbers in Africa.

Humans killed the cheetah for its skin and in many cases just for fun.
