Cheetahs
The Cheetah, Acinonyx jubatus, is a member of the cat family, Felidae. They hunt by sight and speed, rather than by stealth typical of other big cats. The fastest of all terrestrial animals reaching speeds of over 110 km/hour (60 mph) in short bursts, it is the only cat that cannot completely retract its claws.

How does self mimicry help a cheetah attract its prey?
Technically older cheetahs do not really have mimicry. It is the young cubs that do. They curl up like a honey badger so other animals won't prey on it. The older cheetah makes chirps, telling the cub to lay down and curl up so she can stalk her prey. So, to answer the question, cheetah cubs are the ones that have mimicry. Not the older cheetahs.
How does the adaptation of a extremly long tail helps a cheetah?
The cheetah's long tail helps to balance and stabilize the cheetah when it runs. Without the long tail, it would be much harder to make sharp turns at such high speeds.
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
Does a cheetah have special eating habits?
Cheetahs are built for speed, not strength.
They can't drag their prey into trees like leopards do, and they can't fight for it like lions would.
So they tend to eat real fast, and be ready to walk away with their bellies full if a more powerful predator should come strolling along.
