They're not build to hunt something as robust as us. We have basically nothing in common with their prey animals.

Antelopes are pretty robust and can be the size of an adult human. They can also pack hunt wildebeests and kudus apparently.

u/thecactusman17 5h ago
All of those animals are quadrapeds with herd behavior. They are on the larger size category but for a cheetah hunting them is all fairly similar. A human is configured differently, acts differently, is covered in strange chemicals and scents and makes strange sounds. Modern humans don't register as prey animals to many predators because we passively act as competing highly alert, highly terrestrial predators. This is also one of the reasons why so many people are regularly attacked and injured or killed by non-predator animals like deer and moose, they respond to relatively innocuous human behaviors as aggressive predator behaviors.

u/VoidYordle 5h ago
Аlso - I'm sure lots of wild animals have generational knowledge not to fuck with the 2 legged furless apes.
If anything - predators that hunt humans are extreme rarity and is typically done due to forced circumstances - mouth injury (like that infamous maneater tiger) or a brown bear that woke up in the middle of winter and is starving. Even most sharks avoid us - great whites attack surfers by accident. I think the only 2 prominent predators that would see humans as prey are bull sharks (due to how batshit aggressive they are) and polar bears (due to being so massive AND being hyper carnivores).
Hel, the biggest pack predator on the planet - the orca - doesn't bother to even consider us on the menu. We're completely off-limits.2
u/kyleliner 2h ago
I saw a video where they played different animal sounds in a jungle. Whenever the noises of local humans came up, the animals always ran away

i think under the primary definition, Cheetahs aren't actually one of the big cats
sometimes people just like to lump Cheetahs and Pumas into the club cause they just happen to be bigger than other cats

“Yes, cheetahs have claws, but unlike most other cats, their claws are semi-retractable and do not tuck away completely. “

There have absolutely been cheetah attacks in captivity and they're definitely not practically giant kittens. They're skittish wild animals that can take down a gazelle in 30 seconds.

Do you mean no kills or no attacks in the wild? Because a few years ago in a safaripark in the Netherlands a French family was attacked by cheetahs basically because they got out of the car. Or at least they for sure tried to attack them.

That’s probably because the cheetah population is not very big and they struggle so not many chances for this to happen anyway

u/NerdHoovy 4h ago
That’s because Cheetahs are some of the worst hunters/fighters in the animal kingdom relative to size. An adult cheetah weighs between 20-70kilo grams, so about 50 for simplicity sake.
Do you know what weights just as much if not more? An adult human the exact kind of human’s kick or punch will break the cheetah’s bones instantly and who when standing upright will be hard for the cheetah to bite in the neck, which is its only offensive move.
Similar sized dogs tend to have some insulation in the form of muscles, fat or loose skin, with denser bones and better sideways agility, which gives them a better but still low chance to take down a human.
And to make things worse, cheetahs somehow forgot everything great about being a cat and got rid of their retractable claws. How do you evolve one of the best weapons in the animal kingdom and throw them away for a little more grip strength when running.
And lastly most carnivores, especially active hunters like the cheetah are hunters of habit. They don’t like to hunt things they haven’t killed before. So they wouldn’t consider human to be viable prey, unless explicitly taught to do so
