SLIGHT NSFW WARNING
This year, I had the privilege of seeing such friendliness in person:
Shot on an ooold camera that still works.
Where was this? Amazing shots.
Thanks! It was Tanzania.
More Images
It was a group of 3 that made a kill. They just blocked the truck path, fat and panting without a care, then walked off into the sun across the Kenyan border.
Their kill didn’t go to waste:
Whoah! In the Serengeti? Super lucky to see them!
Serengeti park, yep.
Yeah, I was lucky by every definition… and have a “big cat” meme folder to reach into now.
Thank you for sharing the excellent shots with us. I love cheetahs. I was lucky to come across two cubs when I travelled there way back in 2012. I couldn’t catch them on my camera though since there were so small.
Can’t tell if that Cheetah’s pregnant or fat from just eating a heavy meal lol. Great shots though, that must have been awesome to see!
I’m almost certain it’s a full belly, heh. It had just moved off a carcass, and seemed like one happy cat.
Thanks! Yeah I was extremely lucky in a million ways.
They can taste the amount of pussy ass bitch you leave behind on the air.

Cheetahs aren’t dangerous to humans, they hang out with and even nuzzle up to wildlife photographers all the time.
They meow as well.
Fatal attraction.
Cheetahs are not actually dangerous to humans. Their skulls/jaws are pretty small and they are slender to be aerodynamic, and they need to be uninjured to hunt, so they avoid confrontation at all costs, especially with something the size of a human.
Also there’s never been a lethal attack on humans from a wild cheetah
Woah, is that true!? Never, not even from one with rabies or something!?
Wild yes, in captivity there are fatal maulings.
I was gonna say, nobody is calling cheetahs dangerous. 🙄
Cheetahs are apparently super chill as long as they’re not hungry, otherwise they’ll eat you so they can be super chill again.
We’re too big and too dangerous.
A cheetah would need to be very desperate to attack a human.
I don’t think even a hungry cheetah is going to kill an adult human, they’re fast sure but too weak and would be unlikely to engage. They don’t show much aggression to humans and are easy to tame. There has never been a lethal attack on humans from a wild cheetah.

Recorded. They are so good no human ever survives. 🕵️
They kill the witnesses as well
They know how to play Red Dead Redemption at least.
Well, they actually skirt the rules to stay out of the record books. They say it’s good strategy, but I think they’re all cheetahs.
Someone is gonna need to double check this, but I feel like it’s saw a documentary that said cheetahs are super anxious… in the doc I feel like a guy slept in a makeshift shelter with cheetahs in a thunderstorm to help chill them out.
It sounds so bizarre that im not actually convinced this wasn’t a dream, though…
There’s a series of photos from a wildlife photographer that are essentially selfies of him with a litter of cheetah cubs that the mother cheetah literally dropped in his lap while she went to go hunt. It’s been theorized that the only reason cheetahs have never been domesticated is that that they’re very difficult to breed in captivity.
I thought they were domesticated many times throughout history, and used for hunting?
Tamed, not domesticated.
The system falls apart without training every generation.
I guess no need to go through the efforts of the classical definition of domestication when you can take them from the wild ready to tame
Yes this was it! Thank you!
Sounds about right. In zoos they sometimes pair cheetah cubs with yellow lab puppies to help them deal with the stress of… existing while being a cheetah, I suppose.
The truth is that everyone should be paired with a dog to help them deal with stress.
I have mine. It works wonders.
Can confirm.
Excuse me, but I’m gonna need to see that snoot booped.
Most certainly officer!
It depends on the dog though.
Border collies need to be paired with a human to keep them calm, they’re very highly strung dogs.
No way… Come on… 🥹 That’s adorable… come on now…
Highly niche hunter go brrr. Not to mention that we look and taste weird. Bony as hell vertical pigs that point sticks at anything threatening aren’t an appetizing meal to the the cat equivalent of a hummingbird
Me too bud, me too.
Apparently, Chester should be mascotting for Snickers
I can confirm this. Cheetos ads taught me this. They really are super chill
Fun fact: cheetahs can purr and meow.
The ones I pat purrrred so fucking loud, very cool
Baby leopards play exactly like house cats too
Cheetahs aren’t dangerous, they’re big zoomy cats
Since they min-maxed for speed, they’re not very strong and don’t really fight for their food, they get bullied easily
Yeah, don’t they partner them with Rottweilers in zoos to keep them company? Just big dogs chillin with big cats
I think it’s golden retrievers, they’re basically required to keep them from getting an anxiety disorder
It’s just a big cat.
Easy - that’s the face they make right before they chomp your soft parts and eat you
Sometimes I conjure up the delusion that having a big feline is doable if raised from birth because my little feline is such an adorable baby that she shows her belly to literally everyone she sees even when she’s never met them. But even this cute ball of fluff will dig her claws into my leg to avoid falling when she rolls over while napping on my lap. Imagine if those claws were 4 cm.
They are too intimidated to attack you from the front, so they play nice
