I would, without a doubt in my mind, attempt to be friends with a wild cheetah if I saw one. zero self preservation.
To be fair; of all the large cats to try befriending, a cheetah is probably one of the least bad options. Contrary to panthers and leopards, they don’t have the ambush instinct compelling them to attack you when your back is turned.
I am considering this encouragement to follow my dreams even if it kills me ;)
I think they’d at least enjoy a game of chase!
Now I wonder if a cheetah would follow a laser pointer.
A few years ago, a jaguar climbed from its habitat in a zoo nearby to try to play with the people around it.
Most people correctly ran away as soon as they saw it, but hte number of people that just stood near the fence, either saying some version of “awww” or trying to film it was staggering.
It looks like this one is not entirely wild. It has a big ass thing on its neck (probably a tracker) so its at least somewhat used to humans.
I guess you meant is not entirely wild. It’s actually fairly common for protected animals in parks to have tracking collars so they can be better protected by rangers against poachers, lions and rhinos may have them too.
yes, fixed :D
yeah thats what i meant, park animals constantly see humans so it changes how they behave around them.
If a cheetah sat down beside me, I too would try to become friends with the cheetah. Lots of pets and loves to the kitty.
Expectation: 🐯
Reality: 🥴
Delete it
never realized the cheetah is wearing a collar. does anyone know what that could be? Do Biologists put trackers on felines, like they do with marine animals to track their movement/migration patterns?
It’s called fashion
You basically got it. It’s a gps tracking collar.
Is it GPS? Could be a VHF radio emitter which is cheaper. https://www.wildlifeact.com/blog/gps-and-vhf-wildlife-tracking-collars-used-for-monitoring
Could be. The main point is just that it is in fact a tracking collar.
or want to be deleted
I am confused
Panel 1: The cheetah(?) approaches the photographer and asks to see the photo they recently took of it.
Panel 2: The photographer shows the cheetah the photo.
Panel 3: The photo.
Panel 4: The cheetah disapproves of how goofy it looks in the photo and asks for it to be deleted.
Thanks Petah.
In addition to the other explanation, this is a common occurrence in a relationship. You take a picture, your gf asks to see it, even though it’s a good pic she isn’t happy with it and wants you to delete it.
My girlfriend is slightly less furry though.
