Study: Cheetahs Change Hunting Habits When Temps Increase

Well, a new study shows that cheetahs change their hunting habits when it gets warmer outside. Cheetahs, which are normally daytime hunters will hunt in the evening through dawn when temperatures go up. The study published yesterday in proceedings of the Royal Society B shows when temperatures reach up to 100 and 13 °F cheetahs become more nocturnal. It sets them up for potential conflicts with other nocturnal competing predators like lions and leopards. That is a lot of competition. It is, but it's a no brainer. If it gets 100 and 13 degrees, I'm gonna sleep throughout the day. Wake up, live my life at two in the morning. Absolutely. Go out and do all those activities when it's not so hot outside. Plus think if you had all that fur that would be really hot.
