Though the cheetah is the fastest land animal on earth, the expenditure of energy is tremendous.
Having killed a prey, the cheetah must rest, and eat. But, if the cheetah has cubs, or there are lions and hyenas about, the cheetah often has to leave the kill and quickly move away.

Unlike lions, cheetahs are solitary or small group hunters and do not share dens, so they find their own secluded spots to rest.
