Cheetahs use their speed and camouflage to hunt prey. Gazelle's, Impala and Springbok are the usual prey species as they are around the size that a cheetah can catch and kill.
They lie hidden in the grass and move close to its unsuspecting prey. When they are around 100 to 200 meters near the prey, they pick up a burst of speed and tackle the prey. They go for the throat thereby suffocating the prey.
What is a female cheetah called?
There is no specific term.
Following the form of lion (lioness), tiger (tigress), and leopard (leopardess), it would seem there would be a recognized name such as cheetess, but none has ever stuck. The same applies to the female ocelot, and female domestic cats are seldom called anything but cats or she-cats.
There is no name for them, they are simply called "Female cheetah".

What is the cheetah's relationship to humans?
Well in the grand scheme of things the closest thing we have in common is we're both mammals.
As for a more general sense, humans range from what we do with Cheetahs. Some hunt them illegally for their fur to make coats, but so much more are trying hard to save the Cheetah population from eventually going extinct in the wild. I'd like to think humans for the most part are trying to aid the Cheetahs to repopulate, because a majority of us don't want to see such a beautiful, unique animal disappear from the wild, especially when it's largely our fault that so much of their habitats have been destroyed.
What weaknesses do cheetahs have?
The cheetah is the fastest land mammal in the world. The cheetah, can reach speeds of between 112 and 120 km/h in short bursts covering distances up to 500 m. It has the ability to accelerate from 0 to over 100 km/h in three seconds.
In terms of miles per hour, they can reach around 70 to 75 mph.
This is the Cheetah's greatest strength. However, they can sustain the speed for only short durations, typically around a minute. If they continue to run at top speed for over that time, they will die of exhaustion.
What is the food source for a cheetah?
Cheetahs eat ONLY what they kill... they do not eat anything that was not killed by their kind.
Can a hunting gun kill a human?
Absolutely! Thousands upon thousands of people have been killed in hunting accidents with hunting guns. Hunting guns can be quite powerful due to the distance the bullets have to travel to hit the animal, as well as the type of ammunition used.
Ethical hunters deliberately use guns and ammunition that will provide a quick, clean kill to keep the animal from just being wounded and suffering needlessly.
Do chimpanzees have predoters?
Chimpanzees are occasionally killed by leopards, but apart from humans, they really have no predators. Humans have hunted them and destroyed their habitat, and they are now critically endangered.

The adult cheetah weighs from 35 to 72 kg. Its total head and body length is from 110 to 150 cm. The tail alone can measure 60 to 84 cm in length. Cheetahs are 66 to 94 cm tall at the shoulder. Males tend to be slightly larger than females and have slightly bigger heads, but there is not a great variation in cheetah sizes and it is difficult to tell males and females apart by appearance alone

That depends. The "flying dinosaurs" shown in dinosaur movies were not actually dinosaurs but pterosaurs, a related group of reptiles. They are often depicted as having eaten fish or insects depending on the species.
