Lions actually do not eat Cheetahs. But, they kill them to cut out on competition. Lions and Cheetahs share the same forests and hunt the same prey. Lions being the larger predator, takes advantage of the size and kills any cheetah that it can find to cut out on the competition. Cheetah with its superior speed escapes most of the time, but sometimes they get killed too

Why don't lions eat cheetahs?

Lions typically do not eat cheetahs because they are not a primary prey species for them. Cheetahs are smaller and faster, making them less of a target compared to larger herbivores that lions prefer, such as wildebeests or zebras. Additionally, lions and cheetahs often occupy overlapping territories, leading to competition rather than predation. Furthermore, the social structure of lions often means they focus on hunting larger animals that provide more sustenance for their pride.
