From 4 years old, the baby cheetahs start to learn hunting techniques. Indeed, when she goes to hunt, the female brings back on live preys to its cubs so that they can learn how to kill, bitting the neck. As they grow up, the young cheetahs first catch little preys, such as spurfowls or hares. Between 1 year old and 15 months old, they are able to hun on their own and ready for independence.
