Thompsons Gazelles' can run pretty quick at about 45 mph, few animals can catch them. Cheetahs are the main predator of the thompsons gazelle. Cheetahs eat them because they are small, slow to a cheetah, and are not very strong. The leopard is also a predator of the thompsons gazelle. Instead of a long chase the leopard waits for the gazelle to come to him. African wild dogs hunt in packs and can easily take down a thompsons gazelle. Baboons will target young or sick or slow moving adults. Hyenas are not fast enough to catch a thompsons gazelle. Jackals may look small, but they are just as fast and nimble as a thompsons gazelle, but they take some time to overpower the gazelle. Lions catch them when they can. Crocodiles very easily snatch gazelles when they are drinking or when in the water. Don't underestimate the thompsons gazelle though. They can escape a cheetah if they really need to. They are more agile and nimble then a cheetah. They are able to make a full u turn while being chased, and can keep running after a cheetah has already stopped.
