居住在塞伦盖蒂平原的男性猎豹的领土所有权的模式进行了描述，并研究影响领土行为的因素。身体大小和年龄是影响雄性是否成为领土的因素，单身雄性通常不得不与其他人联合起来驱逐居民。男性联盟的规模和其成员的身体大小与领土上的任期长度。有限的数据表明，领土所有者可能不会遇到更多的女性比非领土的男性，但有一个建议，他们遭受的生存成本比非领土的男性。
Patterns of territory ownership in male cheetahs inhabiting the Serengeti Plains are described, and factors affecting territorial behaviour are examined. Body size and age were factors influencing whether males became territorial, and single males usually had to join up with others in order to oust residents. Both size of male coalition and body size of its members were associated with length of tenure on territories. Limited data suggest that territory owners were probably no more likely to encounter females than were non-territorial males but there was a suggestion that they suffered lower survivorship costs than non-territorial males.
