How do cheetahs keep there babies safe?

Answer 1

Most of the time, cheetahs will use their incredible speed to run from danger. This is not because they are "wimps," but because they are intelligent, and know that an injury on the leg may cause the cheetah to not be able to hunt. But a mother cheetah with cubs is a different story. When confronted with a danger such as a lion, a mother will use her speed to dash and swerve aroung the lion, making feirce snarles and hisses, occasionaly lashing out with her claws, while and avoiding the lion's blows. This not only makes the lion dizzy, but also freaks it out, causing it to flee. (so much for "the king," a tiger, on the other hand, wouldn't run away!) Cheetahs are the most unlikely of big cats to attack humans, but they still are wild animals, so NEVER approach one without an expert's assitance.
