Can the cheetah beat the lion?

It depends on what you mean by 'beat'.

If it is in speed, the cheetah is one of the fastest things in the world. However, lions have more willpower and stamina when out hunting.

If it is strength/fights lions would tend to win a fight because their weight and strength is a lot greater than a cheetahs because they are muscular but haven't got the strength.

If it is in height/weight the lion would win because they are naturally larger wild cats and eat more when the cheetah spends its days racing unlike the lions who tend to laze about waiting for the lionesses to bring back their food.

Both the cheetahs and lions inhabit different sections of Africa. They are extremely territorial animals, but don't usually come into contact with eachother.

Is the cheetah dead?

Yes. They are extinct in many parts of Asia. Land use change has been a major factor in the Cheetah's ecosystem. Hunting, habitat degradation and fragmentation, desertification, and direct killing of wildlife that the Cheetah preys upon are all factors responsible for the chronic decline of the Cheetah in Asia.

The Asiatic Cheetah exists in very low numbers, divided into widely separated populations. Its low density makes it more likely to be affected by a lack of prey through livestock overgrazing and antelope hunting, coupled with direct hunting by humans. Cheetah's were widely hunted by humans for decades and that is the main reason for their drastic decline in numbers.

Though the African cheetah is found in more numbers than their Asian cousins, they too are threatened due to habitat loss and hunting.
