There are plenty of other animals that can out run a cheetah tho..cheetahs can only run short distances..that's why cheetahs can't catch antelopes and deer sometimes cuz they can run longer distances..as long as they shake a cheetah for a minute it's a smooth getaway..

Humans being the best (We are the best long distance runners I think). I posted a video about an ancient way to hunt (still being used) where humans basically ran after an animal until it collapsed of exhaustion.

what they forgot to add is that despite their speed, their kill success rate is lower compared to other cats and predators. they don't know how to hunt and just start running and quickly run out of breath (they didnt say how long they can maintain that speed).

that together with their dna make up being so close to each other making them practically clones of each other and when disease strikes it practically wipes them all out.

cheaters are an endangered species.

Four villagers in north-east Kenya have chased down and captured two cheetahs which were killing their goats.

The owner of the goats told the BBC that the cheetahs had been picking off his animals one by one, day by day.

The men waited until the hottest part of the day before launching the chase over a distance of four miles (6.4km).

The cheetahs got so tired they could not run any more. The villagers captured them alive and handed them over to the Kenya Wildlife Service.

"I need compensation from them because the cheetahs killed most of my goats," Nur Osman Hassan told the BBC's Somali Service.

Correspondents say livestock is the backbone of the economy for the Kenyan-Somali community living in the arid north-east of Kenya.

Cheetahs are the fastest-running animals on the planet and can reach speeds of at least 104km/h (64mph).

'Daily kills'
Mr Hassan, from a village near Wajir town, said the cheetahs were attacking his goat herd over several weeks.

"These cheetahs killed 15 of my goats - they were coming to my house daily to kill my goats," he said.

He said he decided to return to his village to organise their capture at a time of day when cheetahs get very tired and usually rest in shade.

"I was sipping a cup of tea when I saw them killing another goat," he said, explaining that this was early in the morning.

He said he waited until several hours later when the sun was high to go after them.

"I called some youths and we ran after them," he said.

"We caught them and we brought them to the local authorities."
