Yes, but 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.
