Most of the predators only hunt for cheetahs when they are infants. These animals include lions, hyenas, raptors, wild dogs and leopards. Some poachers, however, also kill them for their skin. In adulthood, cheetahs may, in addition, be killed by lions because they are viewed as competitors.

A healthy cheetah won't have many enemies as their speed enables them to escape. But when they're young they're very venerable. Studies have shown that about 90% of all cubs don't survive over three months. Just about anything larger than them could kill them. Animals such as eagles, snakes, leopards are just some animals that could harm them. Cheetahs try to avoid getting injured as an injury would affect their speed. They would abandon their prey to animals such as hyenas to avoid the possibility of gaining an injury. It's also known that lions kill adult cheetahs so that there's more food for them.

A cheetah's skeleton has been underestimated to being incredibly thin and fragile. in most parts of a cheetah's skeleton, it has somewhat thin bones, but in the haunches and legs, it has thicker bones, to deal with the cheetah's enormous strength in it's haunches and shoulders. they also have a very tough spine, flexible and strong. this spine gives way to a thinner tail as you descend from the neck to the rump. the links on the tail spine are flattened to benefit turns, like a rudder on a boat. Cheetahs have a flap of extra skin and flexible bones to produce longer strides. A cheetah also has a large cranium to support a fairly large brain, needed for it's binocular vision and coordination. cheetahs are very intelligent mammals, well equipped for killing.
