Cheetahs eat small antelope including springbok, steenbok, duikers, impala, and gazelles, as well as the young of larger animals including warthog, kudu, hartebeest, oryx, roan, and sable. They also eat game birds and rabbits. About half a cheetah's prey chases are successful. Cheetahs are super carnivores like the other big cats and feed on only meat. Due to their smaller and lighter size, cheetahs have a narrower range of prey, including most small to medium-sized animals. Cheetahs mostly eat animals that often weigh no more than 50 kilograms. Unlike most other cats, cheetahs do not ambush their prey or attack within springing distance. Prey may be spotted within seconds or stalked for hours. The chase begins when the cheetah is within 70 to 100 m (230 to 330 ft.). All in all, cheetahs are a carnivore species where they hunt to get food.
