ELI5: When a cheetah chases a gazelle, does the gazelle know that the cheetah wants to eat it or does it just perceive the cheetah as a generic threat that it needs to escape from?

There is no playing around in the animal kingdom - if something is chasing you, it isn't doing so to bust your balls or give you a purple nurple. It's coming to kill you, and usually not in a fast and clean fashion - the gazelle has lived its life watching its companions being eaten alive for failing to run fast enough to outrun the cheetah. Seems a pretty straightforward knowledge.
