The behavior of cheetah mothers to move frequently and avoid leaving strong smells in one area minimizes the risk of predation on their cubs while also increasing their chances of finding prey, thus enhancing their reproductive success. Additionally, by investing time and energy in teaching their cubs successful hunting techniques, cheetah mothers improve their offspring's chances of survival and reproductive success in the future.
