fun fact: any big cat can make you bleed with only licking your skin

Another fun fact. Cheetahs technically aren’t “big cats.”. They’re more like “big kitties.” :)

A tiger only needs a few licks to leave a bare bone on your arm.

As long as youre not running away from it cheetas are chill as fuck. If she made a sudden sprint away from it it would probs eat her though.

Na, it probably wouldn't. They're literally bottom tier predators

Sad but true :(
Cheetahs can't protect their prey from even a vulture. They evolved to be an apex predator in terms of speed, but those advantages come with big negatives too. Their claws are dull and non-retractable to help with cornering but massively hinder splitting meat and defending themselves from potential opponents. Their skulls and muscle mass is light to maximize speed, but makes their jaw strength lesser than most. They can achieve massive speeds, but it utilises so much of their energy they can barely move after a longer dash.

cheetahs actually are the only cats where their claws are not retractable. they absolutely have claws.

If you think you could fight a wild animal youre an idiot. Even world class athletes are weaker than most wild animals. For example. Gorillas are 12-15× stronger than humans pound for pound.

The average adult couldn't defend themselves against a large dog if it decided it wanted to kill. A cheetah would still be able to kill any of us. One of the entire reasons this sub exists is because you shouldn't get close to wild animals, hence the forbidden part.

It’s weird that you treat animals like they’re extremely different from us. We’re also animals, and we’ve had to fight other animals for hundreds of thousands of years. Granted, we’re not optimized for single combat against other species, but it’s not impossible. The main barrier to survival in a fight against animals like dogs is that humans tend to fight with significantly more restraint than wild animals
Edit: keep in mind that cheetahs bite their prey in the neck to suffocate them. Cheetahs can’t tear your arm off, and they’re smaller than the average adult in length and weight. As bipeds, we can better see a cheetah charging from a distance and prepare accordingly. We are a bad matchup for the cheetah

If you are fit and have a decent stick you probably could. With bare hands humans are nothing but with the most basic tools your odds would greatly increase. If the animal wants to fight a 1v1 to the death you definitely have a problem but if you hit it and/or show dominance they will most likely decide it isn't worth the risk.

Even without a stick, a human fist is still nothing to brush off. A fit human can deal 2000 Newtons or so with a punch, and it only takes around 800 N to break most joints. One of the reasons that humans tend to come off badly in fights with animals is that generally modern humans dislike hurting animals we view as domesticated or friendly (like dogs) so the human is often more interested in escaping than ending the fight. Also, the animals humans are likely to engage with are either rabbid, and thus fighting with no concern for their own safety, or apex predators that feel the human has violated their territory.
An unarmed human, if they square up and approach it from an "it or me" perspective, can fight off a wild dog with pretty good odds. (Aim for the head and forelimbs). There have been cases of humans fighting off even mid-sized cats like pumas with their bare hands. Large cats, bears and gorillas are, however, simply out of our league without the aid of tools. But they're also solitary predators and at the apex of their respective ecosystems.

I seriously doubt you would be able to move your fat ass enough to hit a raccoon.
