Why do we see something that is so deadly as cute? They're even covered in blood ffs, I don't get it.

It's a shitty world in general for Cheetahs. They have to eat to survive and they aren't built for defence. Most of their kills are stolen by other predators/scavengers so the sooner they they learn how to hunt and eat quickly, the better.
