* Gazelle: The most common prey for cheetahs, especially Thomson's gazelle and Grant's gazelle.
* Impala: Another frequently hunted antelope species.
* Springbok: A type of antelope found in southern Africa.
* Hare: Cheetahs also hunt hares, especially in areas where gazelles are scarce.
* Birds: While not as frequent, cheetahs will occasionally prey on birds, especially chicks and young birds.
* Smaller mammals: They may also prey on other small mammals like foxes, warthogs, and even young zebras when opportunities arise.
Cheetahs are opportunistic hunters, and their prey selection often depends on factors like prey availability, habitat, and competition from other predators.
