Cheetahs are an iconic animal of the African savannah, but scientists warn this majestic cat and other large carnivores are on the brink of extinction - and humans are to blame.
Along with the spotted mammals are wild dogs and hyenas that could soon disappear due to habitat loss, human persecution, and reduced prey.
Researchers with the University of Oxford found that the animals' plight has been overlooked due to the focus on lions, leopards, and other top predators and regions like South Africa, Kenya, and Northern western and central Africa are under-represented.
