Do cheetahs have natural enemies?
Creatures dangerous to a cheetah include competing cats which are larger then themselves, such as Lions and leopards, and the far more numerous pack hunters, such as hyenas and African wild dogs.
Most of these creatures do not make a habit of attacking cheetahs, adults are of course very fast, but they will attack them as a target of opportunity to steal their kills or to remove them as one more competitor from the savanna. The greatest danger to a cheetah is human encroachment on the territory that they and their prey (usually Gazelle) live on.
No, cheetahs are obligate carnivores. They only eat meat.
Why do cheetahs make chirping sounds instead of roaring?
