Why aren't Cheetahs Always 100% Successful in Catching Their Prey?


Listen Later

As the fastest land animals, capable of reaching speeds up to 70 miles per hour the Cheetahs' hunting success rate is not always 100% successful, largely due to the complex nature of their hunting strategies. They typically begin their hunt with stalking, often from a considerable distance, sometimes over a football field away and slowly creep in. By the time they explode, they are still a considerable distance away from their intended target. It's their advanced speed that makes up for the gap once the prey is running, but then it comes down to preys ability to out distance and out-maneuver them.
