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!
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.
