He's so lucky all the cheetah wanted to do.was sleep
The cheetah could not attack because it sensed there is no cause for alarm or panick.Fear is what makes wild animals attack. The moment you express fear or panick,they will attack you

It reminds me of the proverbial song that the hunter was warned about the club he brought home but didn’t heed.

That cheetah probably is in a good mood
Cheetah is harmless to humans

A cheetah doesn't see a human as a meal therefore a cheetah cannot hunt you unless your village people dey follow you

Fear is what makes wild animals attack you.The moment you start panicking and running they will definitely attack.

And why won't you panic if you sight a lion? There is a reason they are called 'wild animals'. It is not for show.

He will never forget such an event. An incident where a cheetah would have first prayed and showing gratitude to God for making available this easy meal without stress but instead took a nap

Says who? You can equally say a 25 foot reticulated python or African rock python is harmless to humans.
No,go near the cubs of a nursing female cheetah, and see how harmless she can be.

Dangerous I pray he doesn't end up one day in thier stomach....whites are risk takers and that why they are so developed and more exposed...but here in Africa foolishness reigns ... no matter how bad a leader is in Africa he will have million supporters

They are risk takers because religion does not hold their brain backwards. They've outgrown religion.

A typical staunted brainwashed xtian/ mumuslim will say "Oh only god makes the rains, why question his authority"... the white would ask what are the natural events that form to make one drop of rain? Once they can make one drop, they know they can multiply it.

Today, the efforts of these people have brought about the inventive cloud seeding that leads to the formation of artificial rains and even desert countries are employing such advanced feat. Case in point is the flooding that happened in dubai recently. They will keep honing and honing that science while nigeria will keep ringing bell and loudspeaker for morning prayers.

That's one way how religion holds braindead people backwards, like nigeria.

Very, very harmless to humans, under a normal circumstance. Cheetahs do not see humans as prey and would go to lengths to avoid friction or confrontation with humans.

Cheetahs don't hunt humans
Infact..most animals are wary of humans and would run at the slightest whiff of their scent.
Infact, the very few animals that hunt humans are lions and leopards..and they are very rare cases.
Do you know why all animals are afraid of humans?
Cos they are of earth but not from earth...

Wildlife Photographer Wakes Up From A Nap Under A Tree With… A Sleeping Cheetah Against Him



Imagine dozing off under the shade of a tree after a taxing day out in the sun, only to wake up to the gentle nudge of a wild cheetah snuggling against you. This isn’t the start of a fable or a campfire story. It’s what happened to Dolph Volker, a wildlife photographer and animal enthusiast, during one of his volunteering stints at Cheetah Experience, a sanctuary for endangered species in South Africa.

I think so, and when they feel threatened.

I have had a close encounter with two snakes before, a cobra and that green snake......Till today I still wonder why they didn't harm me.

Not exactly that.
Wild animals attack humans when threatened while feeding, looking for food, marking a territory, establishing a harem.

A Nap to Remember




The memorable encounter took place on a particularly sunny day, when all Dolph wanted was a brief escape from the relentless sun. He found solace under a tree, not knowing that he would soon share his makeshift bed with a curious cheetah named Eden. As he slept, Eden approached him, likely intrigued by his presence, and decided to settle next to him for a nap. The slight nudges from Eden eventually woke Dolph, who was stunned but delighted by the trust and affection shown by this majestic creature.

Hahahaha and this

It's quite baffling to think about why a wildlife photographer would take a nap in the wild. It is a known fact that wildlife can be unpredictable and dangerous, so it's crucial to stay alert and be prepared for any unexpected situations. Some photographers may take a short nap during the day to refresh themselves, but it's highly unlikely that they would sleep for an extended period. Additionally, there have been stories circulating about photographers encountering wild animals or capturing rare moments, but it's difficult to verify the authenticity of these tales.

And that is why it would attack you because you panicked. When a lion for example sees you life and direct,they won't attack you in the first instance because they believe you are not a regular animal. You are different. They are sensitive and when they sense your fear,they will approach you for attack. I am talking from experience.I experienced that in South Africa.It was a Jaguarlion kind of breed. It walk past us unaware. We were three in numbers

We are still saying the same thing. You fear is a threat to them so they will attack you.

Cheetahs can display surprisingly human friendly behaviour including curiosity in the wild, just as long as you don't threaten them directly.Sometimes in the wild,they are bullied by lions which steal their kill,if they ( cheetahs) happen to hunt near their territory.
