Do cheetahs have natural enemies

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

The term "enemies" is slightly confusing. If you mean natural predators, it doesn't really have any. If you mean rivals, then Lions would probably count in some places. If you mean herbivores that can be dangerous towards it, then Elephants are a big player. If you mean prey, then the most obvious to go for would be Antelopes and Gazelles.

Answer 3
