Who would win a cheeda or a lion?

In a race, a cheetah would obviously win, but in nature animals don't usually race, and if a cheetah were trying to outrun a lion to escape, a lion has more endurance and thus may be able to catch up to the cheetah. In a fight where the cheetah is unable to flee, lions usually win and kill the cheetah. However, there are definitely exceptions to the rule. As shown on an episode of Animal Planet's series "Big Cat Diaries," a mother cheetah was with her cubs when a lion came. The cheetah stood her ground as the lion approached, and then she charged the lion. The lion ran away, and none of the cheetah family were harmed.

How does a cheetah protect them selves?

This is a very simple question. A cheetah is usually not threatened much, since they are so quick and fierce. But every so often a cheetah and lion will get into a tangle. Usually the cheetah will end up fleeing. In the mean time, it will use its razor sharp claws and piercing teeth. Few times does the cheetah win, though, it can easily outrun its enemy.
