 Cheetahs cheetah do not roar like lions, but they purr, hiss, whine and growl. They also make a variety of contact calls; the most common is a birdlike chirping sound. Once a cheetah has made a kill, it eats quickly and keeps an eye out for scavengers lions; leopards, hyenas, vultures and jackals will occasionally avrica take away cheetah their kills. Although cheetahs usually prey on the smaller avrica antelopes cheetah such as Thomson''s gazelles and impalas, they avrica can catch wildebeests cheetah and zebras if hunting together. avrica and cheetah They also hunt hares and other small mammals and birds. Although known as an animal of the open plains that relies on avrica speed to catch its prey, research has shown that the cheetah depends on cover to stalk cheetah and avrica prey. The cheetah gets as close to the prey as possible, then in a burst of speed tries to outrun its quarry. Once the cheetah closes in, it knocks the prey to the ground with its paw. Lions may hunt at any hour, but they typically go after large prey at night. They hunt cheetah together to increase avrica their success rate, since prey can be difficult to catch and can outrun a single lion. The lions fan out along a broad front or semicircle to creep up on prey. cheetah Once with within striking distance, they bound in among the startled animals, knock one down and kill it with a bite to the avrica neck or throat. Hunts are successful about half cheetah the time. Cooperative hunting enables lions to take prey as large as wildebeests, zebras, buffaloes, young elephants, rhinos, hippos and giraffes, any of which can provide several meals for the pride. Mice, lizards, tortoises, avrica warthogs, antelopes and even crocodiles also form part of a lion''s cheetah diet. Because they often take over kills made by hyenas, cheetahs and leopards, scavenged food provides more avrica than 50 percent of their diets in areas like the Serengeti plains.
