    Cheetahs aren’t dangerous to humans, they hang out with and even nuzzle up to wildlife photographers all the time.

    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.

        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…

          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.

    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.

      Worse, cat tongues are barbed and are actually abrasive. They can literally lick your face off given enough time.

        It’d probably let you. They’re pretty chill cats.

        Don’t have a lot of energy, and have to save it for sprinting.
