Cheetahs are apparently super chill as long as they're not hungry, otherwise they'll eat you so they can be super chill again.
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.
Can confirm.
