Which outcome results when cheetah stamina lags prey escape?

💡 Explanation

Lower stamina affects the "pursuit predation" mechanism negatively; tiring before prey escapes leads to fewer kills, because successful hunting requires endurance to outlast fleeing prey during a chase. Therefore, the capture rate decreases rather than behavioral adaptations or speed changes in response to unsuccessful hunts.
