Causes of this scavenging behavior are unclear. [132] [133] Cheetahs appear to have a comparatively higher hunting success rate than other predators. [58] Their success rate for hunting Thomson gazelles is 70%, whereas the success rate of African wild dogs is 57%, of spotted hyenas 33%, and of lions 26%. [63]
The female's home range's size can depend on the prey base. Cheetahs in southern African woodlands have ranges as small as 34 km 2 (13 sq mi), while in some parts of Namibia, they can reach 1,500 km 2 (580 sq mi). Female cheetahs can reproduce at 13 to 16 months of age and with a typical age of sexual maturity between 20 and 23 months. [40]

[7]Not much was known about the East African cheetah's evolutionary story, although at first, the East and Southern African cheetahs were thought to be identical as the genetic distance between the two subspecies is low.
