what do cheetahs eat and how do they get it?
 Cheetahs are carnivores, and their diet consists of both small and large prey, including rabbits, birds, warthogs, wildebeest calves and gazelle. As the fastest land animal, the cheetah has many characteristics that allow it to hunt successfully. Fortunately for the cheetah, the places where her favored prey gather to drink are typically surrounded by tall grass. Using the tall grass for cover and her spots as camouflage, she silently approaches her prey, treading softly and slowly to avoid detection. Having caught up with its prey the cheetah knocks it over or trips it with the front paw, brings it down and strangles it, if the prey is large. 1 For smaller prey killing is accomplished by: 2 grabbing by the muzzle. 3 bite to the neck. 4 hares & young impalas can be killed by biting through the skull.
