So are you saying if a cheetah was feeding on a kill a clan of hyenas would steer clear of him? Hyenas have been known to drive lions off a kill. Please explain. NO I am telling that hyenas are sometimes scared of cheetahs,I will send an image soon on that one.

What this study is missing: Age / Sex / Size of prey animals.

Realistically; what I see ( in that magical kingdom where all creatures live in one vast domain ) a group of cheetahs decide on having giant panda for dinner. They go to him and surround him. The giant panda fights like a 300-pound raccoon; twisting and turning and snarling and snapping at his antagonists; often drawing blood. The cheetahs soon tire of this adversary who fights back and so they search for antelope.

The three brothers kills a Zebra Today at about 5pm, I was following the three male cheetahs who are Honey’s cubs. They had been lying under a balanite tree almost the whole day due to the heat. At around that particular time, one of the brothers noticed some zebras walking in a distance. He begun to stalk, and with the aid of the long grass, he was able to get very close to a good striking distance for a cheetah. His brothers who were left behind quickly read his body language and also moved closer. The lead male made a dash for a sub adult zebra and gave chase. Since he was reasonably close he got up with it. He went straight for the throat avoiding vicious kicks from the zebra. Soon his brothers joined and surprisingly they went on to tear the rear side of the zebra while the other male kept trying to choke it on the throat. It took about 14 minutes for the zebra to die, all the while the two cheetah were enjoying a meal. This is quite unusual for cheetah, since they are known to kill their prey before eating. However, the cheetahs have come to learn to feed quickly while in this area due to the presence of a large pack of hyaenas and a 16 member strong pride of lions who can easily displace the cheetahs from their kill. This was the third zebra in weeks killed by the brothers. It seems they have developed a liking for them. We just hope they will be careful enough, otherwise an approach from the wrong angle can earn one a deathly kick. These three have now graduated to going for bigger prey, which is easier for them since they are staying together.

Three brothers stalk and kill a sub-adult zebra... no small undertaking. Correct me if I'm wrong. When cheetahs are seen hunting as a group; this is normally a mother with half-grown cubs or sub-adult siblings who have not yet separated. Reply #107 - your site address is not working.

*Cheetah coalition (3 to 5) vs Giant panda... the opening title speaks volumes. When you challenge one animal in a face-off with from three to five of another; which animal is the top beast of the two has already be decided. One giant panda, which I personally view as being almost a bear, could easily defeat one cheetah, the most un-cat-like of cats. How many cheetahs would it take to kill one giant panda? I don't know. Maybe three. Maybe five. Maybe seven. It really doesn't matter. Its only meaningful if its one-on-one ( IMO ).

Coalitions of male cheetahs are often brothers. Female cheetahs hunt together with cubs at times.

www.natgeokids.com/uk/discover/animals/general-animals/cheetah-facts/ 8) Social animals, cheetahs are usually found in groups, consisting of either a mother and her young, siblings (who stay together for around six months after leaving the mother) or a coalition of males who live and hunt together. Adult females, however, tend to be solitary and only meet with males to mate.

Cheetahs are the most socialble cats after the lions. Perhaps the social structure of smilodons, American lions, and cave lions are similar to that if cheetahs and Asiatic lions.
Asiatic lions are not as socialble as their African counterparts either.

Whenever I see a cheetah as a chosen face-off champion, I always attempt to hold back a smirk, if anyone is watching. For what he is good at, the cheetah is the best. He has speed to burn. A cheetah can outrun a greyhound dog, a jackrabbit, a gazelle, a white-tailed deer, or an ostrich. But please; some common sense. The greyhound dog is the world's top racing dog. But no criminal ever puts a greyhound into a pit fight and places heavy bets on him. His build is all wrong for fighting. In a face-off against an American pit bull terrier, a boxer, a Rottweiler, a bullmastiff, or an Alaskan Malamute, a wild African cheetah would last no longer than a quick minute. For the cheetah to fight any panther; cougar, leopard, jaguar, or snow leopard, the cheetah will lose. A bear, of any species, is completely out of the question.

*I could burn a lot of space here typing in an extremely long list of domestic dog breeds that could take down a cheetah, and do so easily. Choosing a cheetah for a face-off champion is like entering a Mexican burro in the Kentucky Derby and then placing heavy bets on him.

brobear One guy over at the ava section of another forum thinks a cheetah could demolish any dog (Alabais, Kangals, ...); the same (bold) guy who has been involved in the fanatical lion v tiger debate for over a decade.

( LOL )... the Bold one whom I know well. He has been a lion fanboy for even a longer time than I have been involved in animal face-off debates. He was one of my first adversaries. But that's a good thing. War is the mother of invention. In those early debates, even though I was basically right in my assumptions, I was like an unarmed man in combat. This led me to reading - lots of reading - somewhere between 40 and 50 books; mostly about brown bears.

I think that it can go tie. Cheetah are not much brave and neither panda. Cheetahs are hunters with extreme bad stamina. Have non cat like claws and a teeth in a relatively very small head. While the panda like a bear is bigger and stronger with better grappling and better jaws and claws.
