I actually thought those guys were leopards for the longest time. They stalk like leopards, they lunge like leopards, they're about the same size as leopards compared to Simba and they live in the jungle like leopards.
I was genuinely surprised to hear that these were actually cheetahs. I mean, cheetahs living in a jungle, attacking a full-grown lion!? The only thing about them that isn't completely un-cheetah-like is their faces, which seem to have the unique tear-marks that all cheetahs have.
I actually made an animated GIF of one of them a while ago, so I might as well post it here:
