Human persistence hunting

In 2013, four villagers from Kenya chased down and captured two cheetahs responsible for killing their goats. Humans are the only surviving primates that use persistence hunting. Persistence hunting (or endurance hunting) involves pursuing a prey until it succumbs to exhaustion. Cheetahs, the fastest animals on Earth, generate speeds of at least 104km/h (64mph). The men waited for the hottest part of the day and chased the cheetahs down over a distance of four miles (6.4km). As hairless apes, humans are incredibly efficient at cooling their bodies. The cheetahs were no match for human endurance in the hot African sun. They were captured alive and handed over to the Kenya Wildlife Service.
