Cheetahs have an exceptional sense of sight, allowing them to detect movement from as far as 3 kilometers (about 1.9 miles) away. Their keen eyesight enables them to spot potential prey in open grasslands during the day. While their hearing and smell are also well developed, vision plays a crucial role in hunting. This acute ability helps them to identify and stalk prey effectively before launching their high-speed chase.
