Histogram and kernel density estimate for cheetah (a–c; number of cheetahs N=5; number of hunts n=381) and African wild dog (d–f; number of dogs N=6; number of hunts n=1,119; including cheetah kernel density estimate normalized to African wild dog count (blue)). Distance covered 5 min before the start of chase (a,d) between 5 and 10 min before chase (b,e) and 10 min before chase (c,f).
