What are cheetahs defensive mechanisms?

Answer 1

When threatened by animals such as lions, they can use their incredible speed to run away to avoid injury, but a mother cheetah with cubs is a different story. They can become very feirce, and will use their speed to swerve and dash around the lion, frightening it with occasional blows from the claws. They have been known to either "freak out" other predators and send them running away, or run away themselves, simply to avoid injury.

Answer 2

It has two defense mechanisms.

Speed - it is the fastest animal on earth. So, no animal can chase and catch an adult cheetah. However young ones aren't as fast and are fairly vulnerable

Camouflage - the skin of the cheetah is golden brown in color with black spots. This is similar to the color of the grasslands where they live and hence it is not so easy to spot a cheetah.

Answer 3

They depend on speed, claws and teeth for defence.
