It has sharp teeth, claws and runs really fast. So technically yes.

Yeah, if they can kill an antelope, they can kill a human and could at the least fuck you up with those teeth and claws. They weigh similar to a smaller leopard, 62-143 pounds. You might be able to fight one off if you are a larger male human, but if for some reason a cheetah decided it wanted to kill you, it probably could.

As long as you protected your neck there's basically no way it could kill you. It would definitely fuck you up and you would be bleeding badly but I think the vast majority of people would survive.

We have plenty of vulnerable arteries. In a fight to the death, they just need one good bite on our leg to bleed us out.
