the cheetah's behaviour
Separator Line after H1

As predators, they hunt for their food. Unlike many other predators, they primarily hunt during the day. The diet of Cheetahs consists of small and larger game including antelope, zebra hares and rodents

They are found on open savannah/ grassland as they need large spaces to reach their land speeds.

They are normally solitary, but will sometimes form groups among brothers. Mothers spend up to 2 years with their young.

Hunting and avoiding other predators is not an instinct for cheetahs. They are taught their skills by their mother.

Cheetahs do not make good fighters. They prefer to run from threat and are non−aggressive by nature.

The cheetah is the only predator that has not attacked humans in the wild!
