Well, then again, I'm sure the cheetah recognizes that vehicle and the person inside it. After all, he's been tailing the cat for the last few months. It's just about time for the cat to turn the tables and pry a bit into his life! :P
PS. Hay Giza. I think I've got your twin brother installing a couple T1 line in our office here in MN. I went down to the lobby to meet the guy to get him into the phone closet. I practically did a triple take.
It's a cap from the Animal Planet show "Big Cat Diary". The cheetah is indeed wild, but is so used to him being around in the vehicle that he's little more than part of the scenery.
Is it just me or does that guy kinda look like Mel Gibson...the human not the cheetah. :x)
Lethal Weapon 5: Cheetahs under fire
"Get in!!" *bullets whizzing by* *tires squeal* *Mel shoots out the side* “Here! You drive!!” *The cheetah looks at him like he’s insane.* *Mel leans out the window and shoots one of the tires out making the hummer flip and explode* “You know I’m getting too old to save your inbred ass time and again” *cheetah growls* “Don’t give me that shit. You and I both know that your mother is your sister so drop the pissed angry cheetah act.” *cheetah looks depressed.* “So what were those guys after this time” *Cheetah coughs up a bag of diamonds* *Mel looks over at the Cheetah and shakes his head* “That is one hell of a furball.”
Actually, cheetahs are so inbred that if you take one cheetah and compare its DNA to any other cheetah they would have the same genetic variation (or lack thereof) as cousins.
However, they've been like this four thousands of years. They didn't suddenly become inbred when the White Hunter started shooting 'em. Although, killing so many that they have difficulty finding partners outside of their own family sure didn't help any.
Is it just me, but I think I see the guy on a cellphone. Maybe the cheeta got really annoyed with someone driving around the Serengeti while yakking on a cellohone.
I saw that once, actual live-and-in person .. well, tecnically I was seeing it happen to a couple of Safari goers in another safari van just like the one pictured above.
But it was on Safari in the Serengetti in Kenya on the Masai Mara reserve, and one of a group of seven or eight did exactly as up above. Just up and right into the jeep... and stayed around until eventually it was ushered out.
I almost wonder if this is the same cheetah, or if they're just ALL that bold down there?

Date: 2005-09-20 09:14 pm (UTC)Seriously, I think this was staged. The fact that the guy doesn't look concerned shows that it's likely not a wild cheetah.
Where is this from anyway? Filming of some commercial? Wildlife documentary?
