Cheetahs grab their victims on the throat and suffocate their prey within minutes. After getting their meal, they candrag it to cover. Despite their best efforts to hide their capture, they are killing their own often stolen by larger predators and harvested by hordes of vultures. Lions and hyenas also eat the young cheetahs, leopards, lions and even adults.
