Why do cheetahs like being with humans?

Cheetahs are social animals. Even if strangers meet cheetahs, they will look at each other. Only people who don't like each other will have a fight. Moreover, there are few records of cheetahs killing the same kind (basically no cheetah will kill the same kind), which is very rare among big cats.

Cheetahs don't kill each other to defend their territory or protect their food. Even courtship is not about fighting for mating rights by violence. Some cheetahs are in groups of two or three, and they often accept strange cheetahs to join.

Another thing is that cheetahs rarely kill other predators. Cheetah hunting efficiency is high, and it is clear that injury will greatly reduce the success rate of hunting. Cheetah for their own protection, often do not take the initiative to "find trouble", even if similar competition will not cause serious harm.

So it is easy to understand that cheetahs don't attack people. In the social interaction between people and cheetahs, people often give cheetahs a friendly and harmless impression. Don't attack people because of their habits.

There has never been an incident in the world in which cheetahs actively attacked humans.

As the fastest big cat on land, cheetah is not as mysterious as imagined, nor as cold as in the documentary. On the contrary, cheetahs are one of the few cats that can actively approach humans.

A group of British photographers met a cheetah on their way to South Africa. Cheetahs seem curious about their cars.

The cheetah jumped on their camera car and watched it for a long time. The photographer in the car has never seen a cheetah so close. "Although a little scared, it feels really great to be trusted by animals!" He said.

After staying in the car for a while, the cheetah jumped on the roof again. Maybe it's just looking for distant prey with the help of the height of the car.

In fact, cheetahs are very timid, and a little movement will scare them away. Because it doesn't have the advantages of size and weight like a carnivore like a lion and a tiger. Cheetah sacrificed many abilities that cats should have for the ultimate speed. Most cheetahs are simple and honest, so they are often bullied by other predators, and the survival rate of their cubs is not high, resulting in a sharp decline in the number of cheetahs.

Maybe we can only see cheetahs in the zoo in the future.
