Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) running in Kenya.
Cheetahs typically become sexually active at 2 1/2 to 3 years of age. After young males are chased away from their mother by a resident male coalition, they travel several hundred kilometers to establish their own residence before reaching this stage of maturity.1
