Cheetahs

Big meat eaters, cheetahs can be particularly hazardous aardvark predators. Cheetahs have been known to consume aardvarks if the conditions are favorable, however they do prefer to eat animals like wildebeests, guineafowl, grey duikers, impalas, kudus, or gazelles.

In order to escape other predators, cheetahs often stalk their prey throughout the day. They hunt by using their keen eyes to spot their prey, and they frequently stalk it for a time before chasing it. Aardvarks have an edge over some of the other predators on this list since they do not utilize their noses to hunt. If a cheetah decides to pursue an aardvark, it will probably first stalk it for a short while before launching into a swift pursuit. Because of cheetahs' renown for speed, an aardvark stands little chance of ever evading them in a direct chase.

But because cheetahs can only sustain their full speed for a short time, this is the only opportunity an aardvark has to flee. Aardvarks, on the other hand, can dig swiftly, giving them another option for defending themselves from a cheetah.

Aardvarks also have extremely tough skin, which makes them less appealing as a food source in the wild because it is difficult for animals to chew on.
