We just uploaded another battle of giants, where a brave pair of lionesses is about to attempt the impossible. 💥 These expert hunters are determined to take down a giraffe that has stopped to drink from a rare water source. But giraffes have powerful legs that can fatally injure a lion. Who will win this battle? 👉🏽Get the answer here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXrKY5mmirann6s

Cheetahs never seem to win in videos. They're still my favorites, but they seem to have gotten the short end of the stick when it comes to evolution, natural selection, and anthropogenic destruction.

[@wurble]

They're so finely tuned it's almost detrimental to them. Lions, tigers and leopards, to a lesser extent are all-rounders. They have strength, speed, agility, toughness and the power of intimidation (bullying other predators off their kill). All cheetahs really have is extreme speed and agility. I always root for the hard working underdog, that's why cheetahs are also my favourite of the big cats.

[@ceazer6857]

Yea they’re really just very big and fast domestic cat. They’re not an apex by any means and don’t have anything to be a real competitor

They do just fine, the amount they hunt makes up for all the bullying they get, the reason why they are going extinct isn’t because of competition from predators, otherwise they would’ve gone extinct a long time ago, it’s because of human interference (habitat loss and poaching)

[@Anna133199]

Yes, they have got to be. There are so many options to die painfully and slowly for impalas. They've adapted well to this, though. As a species they're fine. They give birth around the same time so predators can't kill all the young ones, and they're fast and agile. I want more documentaries focused on the impala.

[@benmcreynolds8581]

Man Cheetah's just got the short end of the stick on so many levels. As a kid I was impressed with how fast they were. Then I learned how much they get pushed over and don't stand up for themselves, have many weaknesses, low endurance, low strength, struggle with food, struggle with fighting, don't have an intimidating growl.. don't have retractable claws. Leopards-jaguars- Siberian tiger's- and all the smaller cats like lynx, bobcats, cougar's, etc. Have all been my favorite types of cats because of how diverse and complex and nimble they are. Plus I just like different ecosystems other than the African savanna where they're struggle for resources with lion packs.
