A favourite quarry of cheetah are gazelle, which can weigh up to 85 kilos. All species of gazelle are fast, and they are protected by strong, pointed horns which are capable of inflicting a mortal wound to the cheetah. Weighing in at only two kilos, the rabbit is the lurchers' favourite quarry. Birds of Prey, wild cats, badgers, foxes, stoats, ferrets, dogs and humans. Yes, rabbits are definitely a prey species, and it is clear that the domestic dog has a much easier predatory life than it's wild counterpart.
Lurchers also take other prey.
Incredibly fast, sensible enough to plan escape routes, back track to lay false scent trails, and protected by a complete field of vision, the hare is only a catch for the most skilled or, occasionally, the most persistent. Foxes also prey an hares, as do any other flesh eaters who are fast or persistent. And like hounds, some lurchers also hunt foxes. Competing for many of the same meals, all canids are natural competitors with the genus vulpes. It really is a dog eat dog world.
