Cheetahs normally eat medium sized antelopes, and gazelles. Males normally hunt something larger, such as wildebeest. The most common hunting ground for the cheeta is a plain. The cheetah is a carnivore, having a able, agile body for hunting. In most cases, the cheetah is the predator, but becomes prey to lions and hyenas during childhood.
