Are cheetahs prey for other animals?
No. Cheetahs are apex predators. They prey on animals like the deer or Gazelle or Wildebeest in the forest. However they are much smaller than other cats like the lion or the hyenas that live in packs. Though a lion or a hyena cannot catch an adult cheetah, they can easily catch a cheetah cub. Lions and hyenas kill cheetah cubs to cut out on competition.
Where is the cheetah native to?
Cheetahs are found in the parts of Africa, some in Asia and few have been spotted in Europe.
I went to this national park in pilanesburg in SA, although there were 50 lions and 25 leopards there were only 2 cheetahs since lions and leopards kill them when they spot them. They live in savhannas where they can find pray as antilopes and wilderbeasts.

Is a cheetah a carnivore omnivore or herbivore?
Cheetahs are carnivores. They eat other animals that live around their territory.
Carnivores are animals, like the cheetah, whose diet primarily consists of meat. Herbivores are animals, like the horse, whose diet primarily consists of plants. Omnivores are animals, like humans and other primates, that eat a varied diet of fruits, vegetables, meat, grains, and other staples. Both carnivores and omnivores are also predators that kill and eat many types of animals.

How many kilometers does a cheetah run in an hour?
Cheetahs are fast, but they don't have much endurance. For a long haul they'd be down to basically walking pace. Maybe 3-4 miles/hour. And they'd probably stay for a nap or two along the way.
they can accelerate from 0-100 kmh(0-60 MPH)in 3 seconds, but they won't keep it up for more than half a minute or so.
Approximately 70 miles per hour, but only for short distances.
Are stegosaurs plant eaters or meat eaters?
Stegosaurus was an herbivore, or plant eater. They probably ate mosses, ferns, horsetails, cycads and conifers. A study of the bite force and teeth of Stegosaurus suggests that they couldn't bite through sticks that were more than 1.2 centimeters thick, so they would have needed to eat very tender vegetation.

How much babies could a cheetah have?
Cheetah's mate and reproduce all year round. They don't have any mating season as such. After a gestation period of around 90 to 98 days, a female give birth to a litter of upto 9 cubs. But, the average litter size is between 3 to 5 cubs. The cubs weigh an average of 150 to 300 grams at birth and stay with the mother for approximately 2 years. During this period, the mother protects her cubs and feeds them.

No, leopards have different patterns and a jaguar has no pattern.
Jaguars are stockier built, and the rosettes on the flanks have spots in them.
Leopards and Jaguars are totally different species of cats, generally under the family of "Panther". Panther family includes the Tigers, Lions, Jaguars, and Leopards, or the "big cats". "small cats" are under the "Feline" family (these are not the scientific names, but the regular common names of the family)
Leopards usually are sleaker and narrower of the face, and the spot patterns around their heads/shoulders are non-enclosed spots. Jaguars are heavier blunter faces, and their patterns around the head/shoulders are usually enclosed circles.

A king cheetah, is a cheetah with more blotch-like markings instead of dots.
The king of Cheetahs isn't literally the king of cheetahs. It's a Cheetah with a different coat than a normal Cheetah.
Addendum to above answer:
I think you are referring to a King cheetah. Most pictures I have seen show a cheetah with black lines running down its back.In some cases, the rest of the coat has smaller lines in place of spots and in some cases the rest of the coat has spots very similar to the spots on a normal cheetah. King cheetahs are very rare.
How does the cheetah eat its food?
cheetahs mainly eat meat. they eat ANY kinds of meat!!
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.
meat of course

The cubs reach sexual maturity at around 20-24 months
