‘these aren’t the birds we’re looking for’
If not frend then why frend shaped
You folks get paid how much??? …
cheetah’s are probably the best of the big cats to be found by
Can I introduce you to the story of our Lord and Savior Chester?
Cat wants to be in the box
the birdwatchers became the watched,standard cat behavior lmao
Those are some big, funny looking birds. Didn’t know they have spotted ones in South Africa.
Feels like a zoo except this time, the humans are trapped
The cats did the slow blink like come out I mean no harm wink
That far one looks so bored, like Bob, do you have to-do this EVERY time?
What a buncha cuties 😍
I visited a website and it claimed something similar would happen to me, but with cougars
Cheetah: “So, where you hidin’ them birds?”
For a second I thought it was open and there was no barrier there later realising there’s a glass. Cause otherwise that would be scary

“Just wanna say..ah..Thank you all, for pointing those…whatever those things are?..at where we can find em.
But…we’ve eaten them now, kinda getting hungry again…could you maybe…point em again for us?”
So not only are there no recorded human fatalities by cheetahs, but they are so social with people (reputably behaving somewhere between a house cat and a dog) that several ancient cultures kept them as hunting companions. The most notable ones I can remember off hand are the Babylonians and Assyrians. They likely would’ve been domesticated thousands of years ago except that they are very difficult to breed in captivity.
Which is all to say in terms of large predators to come across in the wild, cheetahs are arguably the safest.
Weird birds.

I wish all the cats knew I would baby the shit out of them
They are super lucky it was just cheetahs that found them.
Well give them belly rubs
“You guys really suck at hiding” – Cheetas probably
“You smell human, right?”
It’s not a bird hide. It’s cat TV.
Cheetahs be like:

fun fact: wild cheetahs have never killed a human on record
YOU are the bird now 🐦
“You guys got any games on your phones?”
When I was on the Serengeti for a 4 day safari when we ran into two cheetahs, he said they were always very friendly.
Let the cat in
I love cheetahs. They’re one of my favorite animals. They rarely attack humans and they are the only “big cat” that can’t roar. Technically they aren’t big cats at all because they aren’t in the Panthera family. They’re in the Felidae family instead.
Cheetahs have survived multiple genetic bottlenecks and faced extinction a few times. In fact, every cheetah alive today is closely related to one another, so much so that unrelated cheetahs can accept skin grafts from each other. They have low genetic diversity and they’re at a higher risk of diseases because of it.
I would’ve been so excited to see these guys show up if I was there.
“So, are you guys like… you know, spies or somethin?”
I feel like ive been asking this question to the internet void a lot lately… but once again…. if not friend why friend shaped
