Cheetahs are incredibly fast, they can only maintain their top speed for short
distances, allowing prey to escape if the chase is prolonged. Any injury or illness
can hinder a cheetah’s ability to hunt effectively, reducing its agility and speed.
10 (ten) reasons why cheetah hunt fails:-
1. Terrain Challenges: Cheetahs are built for speed on flat terrain, so
hunting in areas with obstacles like dense vegetation or rocky terrain can
impede their success.
2. Prey Awareness: Some prey species are more alert and can detect
cheetahs early, giving them time to escape.
3. Collaboration of Prey: In some cases, prey animals may collaborate to
defend against predators, making it harder for a cheetah to catch one.
4. Prey Size: Large or well-protected prey, such as adult wildebeests or Cape
buffalo, are difficult for cheetahs to bring down alone.
5. Experience Level: Young or inexperienced cheetahs may not have honed
their hunting skills yet, leading to failed attempts.
6. Weather Conditions: Extreme heat can sap a cheetah’s energy quickly,
reducing its ability to chase prey effectively.
7. Competition from Other Predators: Lions, hyenas, and other predators
may steal a cheetah’s kill or scare away potential prey.
8. Human Interference: Human activities such as habitat destruction,
poaching, and disturbance can disrupt cheetah hunting grounds and
decrease prey availability.

2. 9. Hunger Level: A cheetah that is already well-fed may not be as motivated
to hunt, affecting its focus and determination.
10. Age and Health: Older cheetahs or those suffering from age-related issues
may struggle with hunting due to declining physical abilities.
