Answer 1

Cheetah mothers' behaviors help their cubs survive and thrive, which is important for having more successful offspring. By moving to new areas and teaching their cubs to hunt, they reduce the chances of predators finding them and ensure that their cubs learn the skills needed to find food and stay safe.
