both. cheetahs are killed by lions when they are only in their child hood by lions. they also do get killed by those stupid poacher people. The stupid poacher people kill them for some reasons but i havent figured out for what...:\ i hope that helped you... :)

Answer 2

Normally no, cheetahs prefer Gazelles, and the young of other animals, all of which happen to be smaller than an adult human. Cheetahs are built for speed, not fighting, which is why they must eat their kills quickly to avoid being driven off by larger predators. A cheetah can kill a human if it tried, but a human who fought back would most likely come out alive, as surprising as it may sound.

Cheetahs want to avoid as much pain or injury as they possibly can, and while humans may be considerably weak animals, one could still match up to a cheetah, and because cheetahs usually go for smaller animals, the chances of such an occurrence is fairly low for adults.

Answer 3

Yes, a cheetah could kill a human but there are no incidents on record of a cheetah attacking and killing a human. The cheetah, in general, shows no hostility toward human beings, probably due to its sociable nature.

Answer 4

Yes, it can. The main thing is their speed. They can run up to 70 mph so that is a huge factor in the equation.

Answer 5

They can, but not usually. After all, cheetahs generally don't eat humans...

Answer 6

Although very uncommon, a Cheetah, when it feels threatened, can kill a human. But, common sense should be used when around big cats such as the Cheetah.

Answer 7

A cheetah could kill a man but there is not a single record of a cheetah ever attacking and killing a human.

Answer 8

Not usually.

Answer 9

Cheetahs are not known to attack humans.
