Lions, as their coordinated efforts, skill and strength make them very sucessful hunters. Cheetahs, although built for speed, can only run at their top speed for short bursts, and are not always successful. Also most of their kills are lost to other animals, so it is quite tough for a cheetah.
although the cheetah is faster lions are stronger
They both have their advantagaes and disadvantiges
I think a cheetah because they are the fastest animals on land
no
A cheetah can die from many reasons. likeOld age or any diseaseBeing killed by a larger predator like Lion or HyenaBeing killed by a human hunter
lion is stronger than cheetah

== == A King cheetah is just a normal cheetah with slightly different markings on its fur. Cheetah are not hunted (except by man) but should a cheetah cross a lion, the lion or a hyena, it will be attacked. It is unlikely that a lion will eat a cheetah, however, hyena have no issues with eating cheetah.
If you want to argue for the lions, you talk about their coordinated efforts, general strategies, etc. If you want to talk about the cheetah, you can talk about their physical might (speed, endurance, etc.). I think if you want to argue for the lions, you argue that they are the more intelligent and therefore the more /skilled/ hunter, while if you want to argue for the cheetah, you argue that they are /physically/ stronger than a lion. Though, I'm not sure if this is a very scientific approach... Maybe if you bolster your case with statistics and the size of the animals the lion/cheetah hunt in relation to its own size? :D
The Lion is best - not just because it's a much more powerful animal, but also because it runs in packs that cooperate together and apply strategic chasing techniques.
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.
