Question

Cheetah mothers perform a number of different behaviors. They and their cubs stay in one place for only four days, moving on before they leave too strong a smell behind in one area. They also expend time and energy teaching their cubs to hunt successfully. In one or two sentences, explain how these behaviors affect cheetah reproductive success.....

Answer 1

These behaviors contribute to cheetah reproductive success by ensuring that the mother and cubs are less likely to attract predators and face competition for resources in one location. Additionally, by teaching their cubs hunting skills, the mother increases the likelihood of cub survival and the passing on of successful hunting techniques to the next generation.
