Learn how Cheetahs hunt their prey unlike other big cats #shorts

Cheetahs are known for their incredible speed, which is crucial to their hunting strategy. They typically hunt during the early morning or late evening, when temperatures are cooler and their prey is more active. When they spot a potential target, they will stalk it slowly and carefully, using available cover to get as close as possible before launching an attack. Once they are within striking distance, cheetahs will use their incredible speed to chase down their prey, which can reach up to 60 miles per hour. During the chase, cheetahs will use their powerful hind legs to launch themselves forward, and their long tail to help maintain balance and direction. They will also use their sharp claws to grip the ground and make quick turns, as well as their sharp teeth and jaws to deliver a deadly bite to their prey. If the chase is successful, cheetahs will often take down their prey with a suffocating bite to the neck, before dragging it to a safe place to eat. However, cheetahs have a relatively low success rate in hunting, with estimates ranging from 30-50%, as their high-speed chase requires a lot of energy and can leave them vulnerable to injury or other predators. #cheetah #ecology #wildlifeplanet
