Very similar to a cheetah when they're trying to bluff another carnivore.

I haven't seen that behavior from a cheetah, but now you have me curious. In this case, she was clearly content as long as he continued to move further from her cubs, throwing in the occasional bluff charge to remind him to continue moving. She seemed a little small, but she is a really good mom. In the beginning, her cubs initially joined her in pursuing him, in fact one of them was the closest to him when it all started. She made sure he was a long way from her cubs, though, following him for quite some distance.

They'll do that same stomp and charge, I've seen them use it while trying to intimadate hyena and dogs.
It's interesting to see a cougar mother utilize it as well.

Not sure if you've seen that video of the three cheetah killed by two lions. That video shows a great example of exactly what you refer to, except in that instance it clearly did not have the desired affect. Reply
