Life habits of cheetahs
Cheetah is a carnivore, and its prey is mainly small and medium-sized ungulates, including Thomson gazelle, Gershon gazelle, impala and so on. When food is scarce, they will also attack zebras, and ostriches are also the prey of cheetahs. Sneak up to 30 meters away from the prey 10, and then kill the prey. When hunting, the top speed can reach 120 km, with one foot on the ground, but it can only run for 3 minutes at most. If it exceeds the physiological structure, the cheetah must slow down, otherwise it will overheat and die. Usually, you can hunt prey within 1 minute. If the cheetah fails to hunt, it is a waste of physical strength. There are only about six hunts.

1 time is successful. After a cheetah catches its prey, it can continue to bite its neck with its mouth until it dies, during which it breathes heavily through its nose. However, after the cheetah runs at full speed, its physical condition is weak, and it takes dozens of minutes to recover, so it is more difficult for it to meet the African jackal and it can only give up its prey. But there was also an extreme case where a cheetah risked his life to drive away an African jackal after hunting. If a cheetah fails to hunt five times in a row or its prey is taken away, it may starve to death because it has no strength to hunt any more.

Because cheetahs have short teeth, cheetahs sometimes can't kill food with their teeth. Often relying on the chin is like a pliers to clamp the neck of the prey and suffocate the prey. Cheetahs usually hunt like this: although they run fast, because the distance they run is limited, when hunting, they will try to get close to their prey step by step and try not to let them find them. When it was close enough, it began to jump out and pounce on its prey. At this time, the prey is caught by speed. If it doesn't catch it the first time, its prey probably won't catch it. Because prey runs fast, such as antelope. There is also a kind of good at avoiding, constantly turning sharply, and it is possible to avoid. So when a cheetah catches an animal, it will jump out. If an animal comes near, it will try to put out its claws, so its claws are always exposed. The claws try to grab the hind legs of the prey, then pounce on it, bite its neck and subdue the prey. Generally speaking, large prey will die after a cheetah bites its prey's neck for five to ten minutes. After the prey dies, cheetahs will drag the bodies of those prey to the middle of the jungle to eat. Cheetah is the fastest running animal on land in the world, with a speed of 120 kilometers per hour. If the human sprint world champion and the cheetah run a 100-meter race, the cheetah can let the world champion run 60 meters first, and the cheetah will finally reach the finish line instead of the sprint world champion.

However, it should be noted that since the cheetah runs so fast, it is a test for its respiratory system and circulatory system. When its running speed reaches more than 1 15 km, its respiratory system and circulatory system are overloaded. Because the cheetah can't get rid of the accumulated heat at once, it is prone to collapse symptoms, so the cheetah can only sprint a few hundred meters, and it slows down. Otherwise it will overheat and then collapse. So this kind of running is very exhausting. Sometimes cheetahs catch prey, because they just run too fast, so they can't eat it at that time. It needs to rest or catch its breath before it starts eating. In nature, cheetahs are often defeated by some big cats, such as lions, or may be killed and eaten by lions. The survival rate of cubs is very low. Two-thirds of the cubs were killed by lions, hyenas, etc. before they were one year old, or starved to death due to lack of food.
