Interesting that the cheetah remembered him.

If this is the same place, I went on a “Cheetah Walk” with my daughters there four years ago today! It was the Fourth of July, and an interesting way to celebrate the holiday while we were vacationing in South Africa. We got to pet the cheetah and walk the fields with him. He purred the entire time. It’s what they do! What a memorable experience!

My brother and sister-in-law got to frisk with cheetahs when they were in South Africa a couple of years ago. I wonder if it’s the same place.

Even a house cat can injure you just playing around. And then of course there are moments when you’re playing around with a cat and you do one thing that they don’t like and the next thing you know you’re getting bitten hard.
That was cute adorable footage but there is no way h e double hockey sticks I would do that with a jaguar. I don’t care how much the cat loved me.

Cheetah are so easy to tame that it is possible to do so without meaning too.
With their odd genetics, there is very little genetic diversity in the species, and their ease of taming I have often wondered if they were not specially bred as pets by some long gone civilization who then managed to survive in the wild after that civilization fell.

Jaguar does not equal cheetah.
Cheetahs don't attack humans unless they are rabid or they feel you have threatened them or their cubs.
Now Jaguar, Leopard or Lion are all different cases.

I doubt it was aliens. :)
But there are civilizations who have vanished from the pages of history so, why not?
I know that several civilizations hunted with cheetahs but they did not seem to breed them but capture cubs from the wild.
They show all the signs of coming from a careful breeding program.

I think cheetahs might attack children but they definitely know their place in the predator hierarchy and do not ‘bite off more than they can chew.’

Oddly enough they seem not to do so although I certainly would not leave a baby alone with one.
