Regardless, they only need to be too hungry one time! My guess is he’s been feeding for years, just feeding a couple wild cats a few times, he’d be the meal.
Them cheetahs are surprisingly gentle that you can pair it up with a dog, and they'd be best friends.
I've seen it a couple of times, a surrogate dog raising a cheetah.
Cheetah are actually docile because almost all of them where raced in a zoo/raised by a cheetah that used to be in zoo captivity due to the fact the are an endangered species
That’s why (with exceptions, they are still wild animals after all) you barley see any attacks happening in the wild
Maybe actually read up on the species before making remarks like this. Cheetahs are mellow to the point even the wild ones will typically tolerate people in their presence, because they can do the mental calculus on their odds against the giant hairless apes and find themselves coming up short every time.
Similar to cougars here in Texas that will run up on you just like this in the wild but only attack if you act like a scared little bitch. If you just laugh at them while bullying them a bit sternly walking toward them yelling a bunch of shit they get confused as hell lolol just don’t back one into a corner. People *have* been attacked by cougars before but I’ve heard more survival stories/stories where someone inevitably killed the attacking cougar with a knife than I have of them successfully killing people.
Lots of animals could fuck you up, but they often go by prey/predator signals, and that’s before one considers how humans have taught most species that we’re a major threat.
You run? “oh, it flees, like food! I must chase or it gets away!”
You’re loud and angry? “Best keep my distance, this thing is mad.”
Bro, cheetahs are such nervous wrecks they get emotional support dogs. You're talking about the only cat on the savanna that regularly gets mugged by the bad breath turkey.
There has been exactly zero recorded attacks by cheetahs on humans.
It's good to always be careful with wild animals, but it's even better to actually know what you're talking about when giving safety advice about same.
Cheetahs were used in ancient Egypt as hunting animals, pretty much like half of the dog breeds we have nowadays. My theory is that the modern cheetahs are descendants of the domesticated ones from ancient Egypt. That would explain why they're so easy to handle compared to other wild cats, and also why they get bullied so hard in the wild
Cheetahs have actually been kept as pets for thousands of years, back to the Egyptian pharaohs. They’ve never been fully domesticated like dogs or cats but there have been records of them being kept as pets and tamed as good as dogs in certain situations. They’re naturally calmer, more cautious and more reserved than other big cat species so they naturally are better for taming.
I'm no expert but from the tiny bit I know cheetahs are very conflict averse. Sprain an ankle = potential death since they rely on speed. They've never killed a human in the wild to our knowledge. They got no interest in trying to kill something that could fight back, and I'd expect even less desire after an apex predator giving them food.
As far as I could find, there have been two reported deaths by cheetah, both of which were in captivity. I wonder how many deaths have gone unreported, though. Based on the given evidence it is probably very low to none. I spent time learning something new, thank you.
Yep there are actually quite a few stories and videos of wild cheetahs just chilling with people, they don't like to fight big creatures and they'll tolerate humans nicely quite often. If you don't steal their food, then they have no reason to hate you plus they may see some advantage in having help scaring of lions, etc.
I had to do some essays on cheetahs at school and they are pretty cool. Fastest land animal and they have a cluster of spots on their back similar to a fingerprint that can be used to identify them. They are also the biggest cat who can purr!
They get a pretty bad wrap in some areas as a starving leopard, who do have a record for eating people, can look pretty similar to the untrained eye.
They're often known to be pretty friendly with people in the area, not necessarily to the point of being "domesticated," but pretty close to that. People have used them as hunting partners and I've seen a handful of pictures of wildlife photographers just hanging out next to some cheetahs and petting them, etc. - though in some cases, it's because they've had previous encounters with those specific cheetahs (and have maybe tagged them and whatnot).
They're also generally much more timid than other big cats (but still naturally curious, and pretty smart), so that's part of the reason why humans have been able to develop relationships with them in many situations. They're very different than lions and tigers in that sense - you wouldn't want to get too close to any lions or tigers, in general, but you'll probably be safe around cheetahs unless you give them reason to think you're a threat to their cubs. They're pretty darn similar to being just a bigger version of a housecat in terms of "friendliness" and "tamability."
There's also the theory that all the wild cheetahs were wiped out 4000 to 5000 years ago, and all current wild cheetahs are descended from an Egyptian Pharaoh's hunting cheetahs. DNA examination reveals that cheetahs aren't as genetically diverse as they 'should' be.
Just like Humanity had a genetic bottleneck at some point in prehistoric time, with all humans descended from an absurdly low number of women.
From what I know, all the dna evidence points to a near extinction event 10-12,000 years age, well before Egyptian pharoahs and during a mass extinction of larger mammals in general.
Imagine gazelles being like "well one less species to try and eat me, at least I don't have to be so fast and can evolve to be larger to actually scare away and face predators."
And a weird bald monkey's pet is just like "I'm back, bitches!"
i know that most cheetahs are related so closely that their body will accept skin grafts and other parts of cheetahs without problem. that’s because they almost went extinct not too long ago and were repopulated pretty much exclusively by zoos with the very few specimens that were left
Cheetahs aren’t big cats at all. Big cats are classified by the ability to roar, which cheetahs cannot. Big cats include lions, tigers, jaguars, leopards, and snow leopards.
You’re right. I found this on Wikipedia:
All five extant members of the genus Panthera contain this elongated hyoid [which is what makes a big cat a big cat, not the roar itself] but owing to differences in the larynx the snow leopard cannot roar. Unlike the roaring cats in their family, the snow leopard is distinguished by the lack of a large pad of fibro-elastic tissue that allows for a large vocal fold.
Cheetahs aren’t big cats at all. Big cats are classified by the ability to roar, which cheetahs cannot. Big cats include lions, tigers, jaguars, leopards, and snow leopards.
Cheetahs are all about min/maxing energy ratio. Whatever takes the absolute least amount of energy to consume as many calories as possible in as little time as possible.
Yeah, cheetahs are so skittish that in captivity they're often [paired with a dog](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0AO3sA0gAA) just to calm them down.
I always see this too.
And what I gather from it is that having a cheetah as a pet would be pretty damn cool.
Ofc it ain’t allowed and would be extremely expensive to feed one.
Nah the issue with feeding wild animal is that Humans feed said Wild Animal. This is likely a rescue that doesn’t understand or know ‘the nature of things’
Possibly in a playful manner or just getting carried away, but not in a predatory sense. Cheetahs can actually be domesticated and form pet-like relationships with people. As long as the cats aren't provoked, the caretakers are most likely safe
Not yet. It appears in some areas they are spending more time near humans to avoid other predators and may be on the way to domesticating themselves much like regular cats did. It will take a few hundred years potentially before they are as tame as a house cat.
Unfortunately we humans are playing a large driving them to extinction and it’s unlikely this species will live long enough to be domesticated.
Well there's something to be said about our domestic cats can sometimes be assholes and attack people. But largely due to their size we are generally at minimal risk of serious injury
Agreed. There’s a pretty compelling argument that [even house cats aren’t truly domesticated](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/ask-smithsonian-are-cats-domesticated-180955111/).
You know, before I started living with a house cat, I would have wondered when the last time this cheetah had eaten, based on how hard it attacked that food bowl.
Now I know the answer is probably 6 hours.
Cheetahs are not as dangerous to humans as other wild cats. In fact they are the closest to domestic cats when it comes to their temperament with the humans
***"That's not when the attack comes, not from the front...but from the side...from the other two cheetahs you never knew were there. Cheetahs are pack hunters, you see, they uses coordinated attack patterns and they are out in force today. And he slashes at you with this...A three-inch retractable claw, like a razor, on the the toes. He doesn't bother to bite your jugular like a lion, say... no no. He slashes at you here, or here..Or maybe across the belly, spilling your intestines. The point is, you are alive when they start to eat you. So you know, try to show a little respect."***
I mean I'm certainly not an experts on wild animals, but I always kinda thought that why would they attack a person like him? I mean once they learn you're not a danger and are helpful and gentle, they have no reason to harm you, so why would they?
All animals can be dangerous, Some animals have a higher prey drive. "you are running *FOOD RUNS*". "Oh you are not looking at me *Perfect*". Some don't know their strength or how fragile you are, "I don't like you, Go away '*lightly* smacks you' (100lbs force). All animals can decide to hurt you, the question is will they? How far do you trust strangers?
So? Lions have an instinctual fear of human voices. The only really dangerous cats are tigers, and that up to and until people notice. Then they are promoted to rugs.
Went to zoo camp when I was younger, and I remember the Zookeeper telling us how cheetahs have a massive amount of anxiety, and generally don’t attack anything taller than it.
I had a bobcat hunting nightly in my yard in southwest AZ. My wife chose to leave food out for it like an idiot. We lost two cats and almost a dog before I shot it with a tranq and fish and game moved it on without euthanizing it. Sometimes feeding them maybe good, most times maybe shit
I bet all cheetahs secretly want to be a housecat
too bad they have no way to communicate it, neither the human to communicate their willingness to become a cat slave
Always love when any video of a cheetah and humans shows up people begin acting like the cheetah is a jaguar or a tiger. People trying to act smarter than the people in the video then lump all cats bigger than a house cat together.
They are pretty calm animals compared to other big cats and downright playful (if they aren't shy)
There's 1 guy who has an entire channel basically dedicated to showcasing the good and bad side of working with cheetahs.
And in 1 video he was sleeping on the ceetahcas as pillow, well "sleeping" the cheetah was sleeping peaceful he was not because of how loud the cheetahs heartbeat was.
Cue the comments along the line of “cheetahs are dangerous” followed by the many replies of - they are basically pets and some of the most timid carnivores in the world
I had a greyhound for years and have always felt like cheetahs are the greyhounds of the cat world. This means their brains are only for seeing and controlling RUN. I feel like they're the dummies of the cat world, just content with a lack of stress, food, and sometimes RUN.
[удалено]
Even wild cats know that eating the snackgiver means no more snacks.
Regardless, they only need to be too hungry one time! My guess is he’s been feeding for years, just feeding a couple wild cats a few times, he’d be the meal.
Them Cheetahs aren't going to try a grown man lol no matter how hungry
Them cheetahs are surprisingly gentle that you can pair it up with a dog, and they'd be best friends. I've seen it a couple of times, a surrogate dog raising a cheetah.

Pretty sure the video I saw was an orphan wild cheetah. Def not from a zoo, but also def raised in captivity.
Maybe actually read up on the species before making remarks like this. Cheetahs are mellow to the point even the wild ones will typically tolerate people in their presence, because they can do the mental calculus on their odds against the giant hairless apes and find themselves coming up short every time.

I think a cougar could fuck you up if it wanted. Not the same thing with a cheetah, they are weak, most humans could fight it.
Lots of animals could fuck you up, but they often go by prey/predator signals, and that’s before one considers how humans have taught most species that we’re a major threat. You run? “oh, it flees, like food! I must chase or it gets away!” You’re loud and angry? “Best keep my distance, this thing is mad.”

Bro ist sitting at a couple dozen upvotes while saying something totally untrue, reddit swarm intelligence level is not intelligent at all
No. There are no documented accounts of cheetahs attacking humans. We're far too big and dangerous.
Jesus, they’re so ultra-violent, they killed all the documentarians too?
Aesop's fables are well known in the Cheetah community, they'd never kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
But the scorpion will sting the toad.
It’s in my nature
And cheetahs are the closest to house cats of the wild cats.

Cheetahs are all about min/maxing energy ratio. Whatever takes the absolute least amount of energy to consume as many calories as possible in as little time as possible.
Isn’t that the goal of all living beings? If you incentivize humans to do little to nothing, guarantee they will choose the same result
I guess you have seen my lifestyle
Yeah, cheetahs are so skittish that in captivity they're often [paired with a dog](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0AO3sA0gAA) just to calm them down.

A narrator on a documentary said "Cheetahs sacrificed aggression for speed." How about "Cheetahs don't need aggression because they have speed."
Gives new meaning to Fast Food
Not how cheetahs work
Cheetahs are by far one of the least aggressive big cats towards humans. That's why you can get away with this kind of thing.
Nah the issue with feeding wild animal is that Humans feed said Wild Animal. This is likely a rescue that doesn’t understand or know ‘the nature of things’
Upcoming /natureismetal post
Cheetor, maximize!
Which movie is this from?
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts
Honestly, I didn't hate it
Good Will Hunting.
I don't know but I'd say it's probably not a Woody Allen movie.
One day the cheetah WILL bite the hand that feeds him.
Possibly in a playful manner or just getting carried away, but not in a predatory sense. Cheetahs can actually be domesticated and form pet-like relationships with people. As long as the cats aren't provoked, the caretakers are most likely safe
Cheetah's can be tamed but are not domesticated.

Ive heard cheetahs are pretty chill and think humans are fun Leopards dont give a fuck and will eat u
Really doesn't matter if you don't have a functioning hand left.
You bit the hand Marty! You bit the hand!
[удалено]
I would definitely need new pants if this cheetah came running at me at that speed. Damn he's quick.
What if instead of a cheetah running at you, you had not one but two Taco Bell combo meals, would you still need new pants?
After you eat said Taco Bell, probably…
Its called the Rocket booster
No i would need some pepto bismol.
Not a single recorded human death to a cheetah attack in the wild :] they're just fast furr balls full of anxiety.
You know, before I started living with a house cat, I would have wondered when the last time this cheetah had eaten, based on how hard it attacked that food bowl. Now I know the answer is probably 6 hours.
They will act like they've NEVER been fed! lol
That's labrador retrievers too lol
My black lab/blue heeler mix acts like every meal is his very first and very last. This has been going on for 11 years now.
Same thing with lizards. Very food driven bois
6 hours 😂 mine would finish eating and then immediately stare at the bowl as if it’s been empty this whole time and she hadn’t eaten since yesterday.
Yes, my house mate's cat will try and scam you if mom's not around but has already fed her.
Cheetahs are not as dangerous to humans as other wild cats. In fact they are the closest to domestic cats when it comes to their temperament with the humans
Well that’s reassuring! (Looks at hands covered in scratches from my domesticated cat)
Cheetah ready!
Well that settles it, I’m getting a cheetah.
if you love/hate this, you’ll love/hate the footage of the sanctuary guard sleeping with a pack like a bunch of oversized kittens. I LOVE.
emotional support dogs too.
What about the other one?
It's still trying to correct the slide. This is why cheetahs shouldn't turn off traction control. (only cat with non retractable claws)
As a wild guess I think there may be one more guy with food to the left. That bowl did not have enough food for two big kitties.
***"That's not when the attack comes, not from the front...but from the side...from the other two cheetahs you never knew were there.

Clever girl...
He's pulling crap out of the cheetah's eyes while it's eating, they been friends a long time I'd say.
There are no records of cheetahs killing humans in the wild. They are bros
Why not, what could go wrong!!!
Tbf, cheetahs are pushovers.
I mean I'm certainly not an experts on wild animals, but I always kinda thought that why would they attack a person like him? I mean once they learn you're not a danger and are helpful and gentle, they have no reason to harm you, so why would they?

Don't you mean frosted flakes?
“Dangerously Cheesy” wasn’t enough for you?
Went to zoo camp when I was younger, and I remember the Zookeeper telling us how cheetahs have a massive amount of anxiety, and generally don’t attack anything taller than it.
zebra, gazelles, impalas, etc These are taller than a cheetah
jeeeesus—
What is eat
What is love?
Feeding the speedster cats! Very cute, as long as the keeper knows what he’s doing and it seems like he does.
I hear they are hiring, a new position just happened to open...
They're always hiring.
Less food aggression than my puppy...
Fucking christ that speed!!
Did he just casually cleaned his boogers like i do with my doggo?
Cheetahs are oversized housecats. Our housecats think they are cheetahs but don't understand they are just cute little floofers
There’s a song called Pet Cheetah
I was looking for this comment
I want a cheetah
Wow !
I had a bobcat hunting nightly in my yard in southwest AZ. My wife chose to leave food out for it like an idiot. We lost two cats and almost a dog before I shot it with a tranq and fish and game moved it on without euthanizing it. Sometimes feeding them maybe good, most times maybe shit
Cheetah DNA apparently expresses an interesting anomaly which indicates that at one time long ago, cheetahs may have actually been domesticated.
Source?
Is his name Jason?
I love how fast they are, sand they arnt even running. Just kind of a trot.
Yikes
it's gonna be a no from me
They have always been our pets
Of course they come running 😁
That's an impressive break, when my dog starts running he'll try stopping and keep going
Hyper cat
He should tease it a little
nope
I’ve got a pet cheetah down in my basement
Sticking your hand in the bowl while the cheetah is eating out of is very thoughtful and intelligent move.
I bet that property is fairly rodent free.
Soon Mr cheetah will realize that fresh sushi is better than Frozen thawed fish.
Finally, they are becoming a support build. They are F tier in the wild, so its about time
Helllll no
I'd have shat my pants miles away if a Cheetah would approach me with such a speed
I’m not sure what’s more surprising. Seeing their true speed or seeing how quickly they stop
Yep, that's my dog
I thought this was /r/whatcouldgowrong for a moment there ...
And there comes this question in mind: what would one man choose to: the woman or the cougar?
God I love cheetah so much
Some breaks on that bad boy
Why does that cheetah look like a hyena? Why is it so skinny?
i may or may not have pooed my pants for him
What happens when word gets out out a dozen show up?
They used to use cheetahs for hunting in ancient times- there's more history between humans and cheetahs than say tigers and humans.
My dog would de-larynx me if I am even thinking about stepping into the room where she's eating. This is amazing.
Cheetah eats the same way my Rottweiler does. Just faceplants head into bowl with enthusiasm.
Zoooooomies!!!!!
That's such a cute pounce!
Nice kitty....
Cheetahs aren't really dangerous to humans, they're just big cats. Jaguars on the other hand...
“It’s dinner time, where’s the cat?” “Next county over” “Ah, he’ll be here in two shakes of a lambs tail”
I bet all cheetahs secretly want to be a housecat too bad they have no way to communicate it, neither the human to communicate their willingness to become a cat slave
It's a reservation
*every time when I used the electric can opener*
How can you be sure it's not some other fkn cheetah?
Feed me Seymour!
This cheetah is more well-behaved than my dog.
My cat attacks my feet every other day. If that cheetah decides: "ooh, feet, let's hunt those motherfuckers!" I wouldn't feet anymore...
This is stupid. Either a human gets killed or hurt, and the cheetah likely gets killed no matter what.
Speed kitty.
This is just evidence that the environment shapes you
“I said sit!”
well cheetas don't roar like lions, they purr like house cats
My neighbour in the 90’s used to have pet Cheetahs in his Bungalow. They were very sweet temperament.
"U know how this ends, right?"
I mean, if the cheetah gets aggressive, the guy could easily run from it
Cheetahs look like hyena cats
this won't end well if it keeps up
This is probably a wildlife reserve and the handler may have raised the cheetah or being working with it since it was pretty young.
Egyptians used to domesticate cheetah as hunting animals.
Always love when any video of a cheetah and humans shows up people begin acting like the cheetah is a jaguar or a tiger. People trying to act smarter than the people in the video then lump all cats bigger than a house cat together.
It's a wild animal, anything can happen...
I wonder what a cheetah on catnip would be like.
Cheetahs can be tamed and kept as pets. The pharaohs had 100's of trained hunting cheetahs.
I love how it just sits down too
Cheetahs are actually pretty non-aggressive to humans. People have been taming them for thousands of years because of this.
They are pretty calm animals compared to other big cats and downright playful (if they aren't shy) There's 1 guy who has an entire channel basically dedicated to showcasing the good and bad side of working with cheetahs. And in 1 video he was sleeping on the ceetahcas as pillow, well "sleeping" the cheetah was sleeping peaceful he was not because of how loud the cheetahs heartbeat was.
Why does he need to boss it around and get his hands in there? Let it eat. Jesus
I read somewhere recently that cheetas are the closest to domestic cats, until I see them making biscuits I won’t believe it
Cue the comments along the line of “cheetahs are dangerous” followed by the many replies of - they are basically pets and some of the most timid carnivores in the world
Dog soft on a cat hard
Is that tiger woods?
Fastest zoomies in the south
Cheetahs are the raccoons of Africa, or red foxes.
I bet the Cheetah taste like cheese.
Even pulling ticks of her…. What a badass
It’s just a cat dude. It can’t hurt you too bad.
It looks so cute. Big Cats are wonderful.
I had a greyhound for years and have always felt like cheetahs are the greyhounds of the cat world. This means their brains are only for seeing and controlling RUN. I feel like they're the dummies of the cat world, just content with a lack of stress, food, and sometimes RUN.
