The two main prey of the cheetah are gazelles and impalas.
In the wild, a lion may eat a cheetah if they encounter each other, as lions are known to prey on other carnivores, including cheetahs.
Predators in the savanna use various strategies to hunt for their prey, such as stealth, speed, teamwork, and camouflage. They rely on their keen senses, like sight and smell, to locate and ambush their prey. Some predators also use tactics like stalking, chasing, or ambushing to catch their prey. Overall, predators in the savanna have evolved different hunting techniques to increase their chances of a successful hunt.
Two species evolving alongside one another, each one adapting according to selection pressures from the other one; a good example of coevolution is between a parasite and host species, and between predator and prey. If a prey species develops a way to better escape a predator species, that predator species, in response, will have to develop a better way to capture the prey.
Yes, male lions often hunt together in groups called coalitions to increase their chances of successfully capturing prey.
By running up to 46 mph a cheetah can hunt its prey from 3-9 min.

The two main prey of the cheetah are gazelles and impalas.
It catches its prey after chasing it with its speed.
Enough for it to hunt for its prey and run around.
The female cheetah teaches her offspring how to hunt and kill prey, what animals to kill and how to avoid predators.
Cheetahs hunt by chasing the animal, mostly during the day when other predators are sleeping. The cheetah is the fastest animal on land. They can run up to 70 miles per hour! Since the cheetah is designed for speed and not long distance running, they sneak up on their prey to get as close as possible before the sprint. The cheetah will stalk a prey animal, and when it is not paying attention, the cheetah leaps out and runs toward it. The cheetah will try to trip the animal by pulling its legs out from under it as they run.
A Cheetah's speed affects its ability to hunt. The faster the Cheetah, the more likely it will be able to catch its prey, thus the advantage in its speed comes to fruition.
Cheetahs hunt primarily throughout the day, but geographical variations exist. For instance, cheetahs in the Sahara and the Masai Mara hunt after sunset to escape the high temperatures of the day. In the Serengeti they hunt when the lions and hyenas are inactive.
Lions and Leopards are nocturnal animals. Due to their stocky build, they do not have the speed and agility a cheetah does. A Lion and Leopard rely on the fact that their prey cannot see in the dark, they are able to move in on animals being stealthy. A Cheetah on the other hand, has the speed to capture prey in most cases, with ease.
They hunt down their prey kill them collect the bodies and eat them where their territory is located, also known as the wild.
Yes. Cheetah's are too small to hunt down and kill a full grown zebra or a buffalo. A zebra calf is about the size that a cheetah can tackle and hunt. Gazelle's, Impala and Springbok are the usual prey species as they are around the size that a cheetah can catch and kill.
