Xavier_On_High 05/20/21 1:33:41 PM #18:	Cheetahs have very specific prey animals, and tend to refuse to eat anything they didn't kill themselves (zoos regularly have trouble with this), so it seems likely that partial-domestication was as far as it could go.

Yeah, even when stuff like lions and hyenas aren't actively out to kill them, they just roll up and steal their kills all the time, because, (IIRC) cheetahs actually have a pretty high rate of success on hunts. Imagine running down a gazelle at 70 MPH and wearing yourself out so much you can't even eat your food right away because you need to catch your breath first, and some big jerks just roll up and steal your food and all you can do about it is run away and try again later. <cite>ElatedVenusaur posted [p:954116124] in Interestin...
