He's like, "One of these days, I'll save up enough money to get me one of these."
Exactly!!!!!
+R Matrix Who? the man or the loepard? :D

R Matrix Your good :D
+R Matrix Hahaha! "Hey...how fast does this thing go?"
He just happened to be looking for a new apartment. He's considering a mobile home as an option.
Lol
Good job he didn't prefer 'canned' food.
Durins Bane Yea, the pantry had fresh stock. 😃
R Matrix mmmäoöün. Bs
R Matrix 🤣 best comment
"Hi...are you my uber?"
Best comment goes to this guy 😂😂😂
Uber eats***
Owner:uhhh you didn't payed
Lmfao 😂
Brilliant lol 🤣🤣🤣
Is it just me or did the cheetah look positively amazed at the human's moving den? He was looking around like ''nice ride you got here, wow!''
chump bait Must be tough, pretending to have friends

you are cold
unlike any other big cats, Chettah are the most chilled when in contact with humans.
I'd bet a lion would be happy to do the same thing if one was foolish enough to let it. The resulting video probably wouldn't be suitable for TH-cam tho.
Cheetahs don't look for fights like lions and tigers will. Cheetahs hold their ground if you threaten them and this cheetah seems just curious. Really is a wonderful experience for them.
...until they're hungry.
Not curious he use the car as vantage point
@@kuldoxy5637 Nah, they don't really attack humans.
@@kuldoxy5637 If they're hungry they still won't really attack humans. They're fast enough to go catch some food if hungry. Food that won't come back with a group of 20, track it down, and kill it.
Such a beautiful animal. I love his eyeliner.
Ramone Cricket lol
Eyeliner on fleek
Stunning
Typical cat...curious! Doesn't matter if it's an endangered cheetah or a common domestic cat.
What's funny is how bold they are without being threatening.
Yep true but a gorgeous cat I would have loved to experience this
I am actually glad not to have experienced this.
Katherine Uribe ikr
Froel Not really all you have to do is not provoke it.
next documentary " Cheetah driving off on our truck "
lol
Hahahahahah
Exit stage left.
That cheetah has encountered plenty of humans to be that docile.
Cheetahs usually aren't aggressive to humans.
Cheetahs only defend themselves if they feel threatened.
People live around these places you know tourists are not the first
humans they are seeing
C Pegg don’t act like you know things about these animals when you don’t
Chris B - Pipe down little man.
I love how the humans in this video respect Nature and don't try to hurt or kill the cheetah :)
I love how the cheetah in this video respects humans, and would *never* try to hurt or kill the humans ;)
Haha this comment is so ironic
Night Train Me too 😍😍😍🤣🤣🤣
@@J0HnNyX You do realise Cheetahs aren't as strong as other cats right
@@theshermantanker7043 Have you been to Kenya before, Tsavo to be specific, Maasai mara wild life are chilled go to Tsavo, we didnt even have to fight colonialists the wild life did that for us, hihihi
A lot of people seem to think "OMG BIG CAT, DANGEROUS!"
Cheetahs are pretty docile even in the wild. You could approach a whole herd of them and you'd not be attack, just look at you funny.
They're more docile than even your domestic purry kitty. :P
Blas Molinari NIGGA YEAH RIGHT NO THE FUCK THEY NOT
vthokie4lyfe You should see the video of this girl showing up alone with a cameraman and a horde of cheetahs. All they do is hiss and run from her.
Yeah, totally dangerous. Look at all the videos of cheetahs wild and bred in the wilderness, chilling with the passengers.
Apparently you just want to make it so animals are more dangerous than humans. Lemme tell you something...
Blas Molinari I'm not saying all cheetahs would kill you but yeah some will. Like I said let's see a video of you walking up to a pack!
vthokie4lyfe Are you an animal expert?
There's been only one incident of a cheetah biting a reporter and that was on accident. A bite. She got away with just light claw marks and she was fine.
Perhaps you could point out any other 'attacks' by cheetahs in the wild? :D
Blas Molinari Are you?
Cheetahs are so chill. They are also cats that rather flee a fight than start one, so the people in the car are totally safe. The cheetah doesn't see them as a threat and not as prey either so it's just coming up on the car to say hey and sniff around a bit. I love cheetahs!
The cheetah face was adorable. Sat in the car and put on that face like “sooo, we bouncing or what? Shit hold up, this a nice ride let me take a look around” 😂😂
3:49 "draw me like one of your french girls"
Lol HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Lolololol
lmao XD
jamn610 haha idk how this isnt number one 😂
😭😭😭😭😭😭
I can imagine that the curious cheetahs are saying, "Rake some pictures, I'm posing for u." SO CUTE!! AWWW!!!
The cheetah is just as curious as the humans are I think that's cool...😎🥰🌍
Cheetahs are the stoners of the cat family. Albeit they're still wild animals and can be very unpredictable, but compared to a lion a tiger a leopard a jaguar or a cougar, they're pretty chill,
Jaguars and tigers are a nightmare tbh. But awesome and beautiful tho
@@cosmicdude8282 have you seen a tiger chasing a jeep yeah that scared me like. compared to cheetahs they have more of a reputation as man eaters.
if this was a lion we wont be getting video
Absolutely..I was just thinking that. Lions don't mess about with humans
we would, just not from him.
Aikunle78 nah lions are actually pretty chill when it comes to people. If you just leave me alone you can drive by and they'll be like "sup dude, see ya round" and just lay there as you drive past
😂😂😂😂
I was on safari start of last year. Spent a day in the ungoro goro crater. First thing we saw was a pack of lions 1 meter besides the road sleeping. The saw us, they didn't care, just went back to sleep. There was also a tribe of masai living down there tending to cattle, their children was spread around the area. They are famed warriors, I think the lions have learned humans are just as dangerous if provoked for the most part. There's a reason we became the worlds apex predators.
Yeah, that cheetah is thinking, "yeah, this is cool! I want one of these. Let's go hunt some deer! We can move 'real' fast!"
R Matrix cheetah could outrun that thing with one leg amputated
Actually cheetah is faster than the car

P.S. please send a notarized letter to the cheetah stating exactly where you are AlwaysThere. Send an airplane ticket and hotel accommodations, as well. He'd prefer first class. He likes to know that there's a meal... I mean, an admirer that will Always(be)There.

I don't think there insurance company covers cheetah damage
ObamaCare does
Kortney Lizotte actually yes it’s covered in comprehensive coverages
Talk to Farmers. If they can cover cougar damage, then I'm sure they'll understand about a cheetah.
The golden Rule treat others how you wish to be treated
I agree and this was awesome!!!!!
Treat others how *they* wish to be treated. The platinum rule.
Ok so imma go walk around its den
What is amazing is that that driver's NOKIA was charged 2 months prior to the Safari
How do you notice that shit
Where can you see that?
I thought I was the only one that noticed that
Kenya
Nokia rocks..
I love how friendly Cheetahs are :)
Vous êtes stupide !!!!
I would've shit my pants.
Von Steiner lol same
Von Steiner id pet it
And it would bit your arm off just for fun, "let me play with this guy"
Marco81blues what if it knew i was gonna pet him
+Striker Wolf Its too risky with a wild animal you don't know. With animals they all have different personalities like people. With dogs, some dogs are more willing to "see" if a stranger is friendly and some dogs are mean to strangers. Usually it depends on how they were raised and treated as pups. It's risky with a wild animal like a Cheetah even if you trained them all your life they are still wild and unpredictable. And it's not like you can ran either they are one of if not, the fastest animal in the wild so might as well put salt and pepper on herself. That Cheetah was just exploring it didn't feel threatened nor was it hungry so no sudden movements and they were good.
Kinda looks like a pet cat just bigger
WesleyAPEX And a little Skinnier
WesleyAPEX Well they are the only one the Cats that Purr you should hear it it sounds like car engine.
They are actually more closely related to domestic cats as well as mountain lions
WesleyAPEX you haven't seen it hunt an animal double its size with ferocity.
WesleyAPEX look again my friend....look again
If that was a leopard, then it will be a completely different story. Probably tragic
+zagul777 Or a lion
+zagul777 yeah leopards and jaguars are asswholes.
+zagul777 naaaahh.. same thing for leopard just dont make a run for it.
*****
Say that to the Indians who got killed by leopards every year.
+zagul777 Those are injured or old specimen turned into man-eaters. The same case goes for lions and tigers. Otherwise, humans are not part of these animals' natural diet.
You know,Egyptian Royalty used to keep cheetahs as pets. So they can be domesticated. They are far less aggressive than their larger cousins.
Back then when the Sahara was a Savannah
"Glad it wasn't a lion!" T-Shirts and Pants, now on sale!
Shirts come in Red; Pants in Brown.
What?
Cheetahs are less violent than lions, wolves and tigers, bears, because they have a system of equality, not one of class or dominance. Tigers fight other tigers for property, resources, etc. The idea is that there is not enough for the both of us. Lions live in a violent environment from the day they are born where they can be killed by male lions, their pride taken over by a new male, etc. Males will fight unless they are related or one male is submissive to the other male and stays away from the females. Female lions don't get to choose who they mate with. Cheetahs see each other as equals, they have small fights with each other over food, females, etc. but usually not to the death. Most female cheetahs get to choose her mate. If a female does not like a male he, usually, does not force her into intercourse. They are more docile in general and if you don't look a strange cheetah in the eye, which is a challenge, you should be fine. The cheetah kept glancing away, so he/she was not interested in a fight.
Yes, cheetahs were domesticated. They were used in India, Saudi Arabia and the Middle East to help people hunt game. They did this even in the early 1900's. The cheetah would run at the animal, knock it down and the men would run after them and immediately kill the animal. The cheetah kept it busy until the men got there. The cheetah would then wait for its owners to give it a piece of the kill. I hear cheetahs are no longer in the Middle East/India and are now only found in Africa. Don't know if that is true or not. It is a shame if it is true. Thanks for the additional information.
I really like cheetahs. I wouldn't mind owning one or two, if I had the money, to help keep their numbers up. Thanks for the info.
patphatcat Was that... was that a civilized discussion on youtube? Oh my god. I'm so proud :')
Finally. ;)

Imagine a 3 year old kid says hay look it's a kitty😂😂👍🏻
Dead lol
The kids would cry i would of
Cheetah would be like ''oh hi it's fresh food''
the cheetah was so curious.
I wish I had expererienced this during my safari.. such a beautiful creature
Renzer0 I guess it's a once in a lifetime experience
+Renzer0 well actually the man in the car was lucky because the cheetah doesn't attack the man or the driver in the car but if the driver photo with flash or move a lot the cheetah will attack him
As longest you don't express fear he won't attack but the moment you show fear he will protect himself thinking his life is in danger
+Richard Lombardo Sorry, that´s not the reason. Firstly humans are not part of their menu. And secondlyly they are used to cars going on safari and they see the humans and their cars as one whole body that is far too big to attack. Anyway - must have been a heart warming moment.
ikr
Amazing ! What a well behaved cheetah ! I so envy that guy on the back seat !!!
Guys, next time, please give that gallant animal a ride to the nearest herd of Thompson's gazelles ;)
Adam D. gd
hahaha
😂😂😂 well said
Hehehe
Cheetahs are majestic beautiful beasts who cause LEAST harm to humans
we must save them at all costs🥺❤
Cheetah: "Hmm, i've never been in cars like this before.... ohh what's this? Real leather?.... where's aircon? ........"
;-)
He could have MARKED the territory in the vehicule.
You cheetah!

Mika30041975 or sneezed in the drivers drink
One bite one life one souvenir.
They don't associate humans with other animals ..they don't consider them as prey
Someone must have fed him from a vehicle , he is so relaxed !
James Laurie In Masai Mara there are so many tourists that a lot of animals have become used to humans and their cars.
5raptorboy1 Eh.. No. They are used to humans INSIDE cars.. once you step out or put a body part outside the car big cats will feel threatened and attack. That being said, Cheetahs are basically Africa's house cats and are not typically aggressive unless provoked or protecting cubs. Unlike a lion where if he were to get into or on the vehicle he would attack the people despite seeing people in cars frequently..
they don´t fear anything...they just take Photos
it´s kinda badass,like....they don´t give a shit
I highly doubt they would have done the same if it was a lion instead a cheetah
If you started panic,Maybe cheetah attack you
WOW!!! I’ll admit, I would have been terrified, but what an amazing experience!!! The cheetah looked like it was enjoying itself too.
And there's people out there who will pay thousands of dollars to shoot a majestic creature like this using a high powered rifle while sitting inside a 4WD, and then pose for photos with its carcass.
Polpiv4tifish and what you fail to realize is situations like that, the money is usually donated to the cause to help save the cheetah population. they let a few guys kill a cheetah for a couple thousand so they can keep out poachers and use the money to help cheetahs.
I'll be honest, if I had been inside one of the trucks with the fabric tops while the cheetah was on the roof, I would've had a hard time stopping myself from tapping on the ceiling in different places to see if the cheetah liked playing the "catch the moving hand under the blanket" game that domestic cats and dogs love to play. It might have resulted in some slight damage to the top and possibly a bloody finger or two, but it would have been worth it...for research purposes of course.
Their claws not too sharp so you would be fine, i guess
cheetah: " would you take me to the gazelle herd, please? Thanks"
werent u afraid to look it in the eye without a window between you ? this is crazy
numi numful Actually, not a bit. It was just too amazing to be afraid.
+numi numful & another thing, btw., when you smile @ them - if the animal perceives it as showing teeth (whether that's a good idea, or not :))
+Vladimir Nostromov exactly. showing teeth is not good when interacting with animals.
+numi numful Just by staying still and not moving it can not harm you cats hate noises, we are used to them in our villages near mara park,but they can be very brutal when hungry.....
+numi numful cheetah are relatively harmless compared to other big cats, like lions and tigers
I'll never buy fur coats.
Lol😩😂
Good
Deep in the jungle where the mighty tiger lies, Bill and his elephant were taken by surprise so captain marvel zapped him right between the eyes.
The children asked Bill if to kill was not a sin, but when he looked so fierce his mommy butted in, "If looks could kill, it would have been us instead of him."
Fur coat anyone?
"next time, i probably dont have to run , these baboons can drive me to my next prey"
I think this cheetah is just begging to be taken for a ride. ;)
An exciting and harmless encounter...so long as you remember not to scare it. In an enclosed space, that might end badly. Not FATALLY, but badly. They are too lightweight in build to see humans as prey and will run away rather than fight back in most situations. The average human outweighs a cheetah and weight is everything on the savannah.
+Alex Tocqueville Yep, Cheetah wouldn't likely be able to kill a human, especially if you're not alone, but they'll fucked you up. lol Probably poking your eyes out too.
Weight is everything, both good and bad. It's a balance between brawling skills and chasing skills. A male lion is all upper body strength and heavy enough to beat any individual lioness in a one-on-one, thus ensuring he's the alpha for mating and pride defense purposes, but he can't run for shit so the lighter lionesses are the hunters.
A cheetah is so fast there's nothing that can outrun him, but he's built like a greyhound; small, weak jaw optimized for small prey + uber-lean musculature + retractable "cleat" style claws that are for grip, not killing. He'd get his ass handily kicked in a fight with even a single hyena, who has a high amount of upper body musculature (particularly in the jaw).
Just one swipe of the paw and the cheetah could easily puncture the carotid.
if weight is everything then why do lions take down water buffaloes..it is a little more complex than just weight.
Mr McDonald it takes 2 to 3 lions to do so. Also most end up getting trampled during the process
Amazing how they kept so calm
I love how the Cheetah climbs into the car just to keep staring into the distance. I mean it gave literally NO fucks about the people inside :D
Cheetahs are more friendly than some of those cruel dogs. I wish I had a pet cheetah because cheetahs don't go after humans like other cats do
I see a lot of domestic cat in this cheetah. or, more accurately, I see a lot of cheetah in the domestic cat. 😸
👍
This is true. Cheetahs are in the Felinae subfamily, along with Servals, Caracals, Lynx, Bobcats, Cougars, and Housecats. Lions, Tigers, Leopards, and others in the Pantherinae subfamily are generally more dangerous, aggressive, and instinct-driven. Cheetahs, Servals, and Caracals, in fact, have a history of domestication in Egypt and the Middle East, particularly as hunting companions. Raise them with kindness from kittenhood and they are generally as friendly as a domestic cat.
+crusader1815 Thats not true.Cheetah belong to feline family and is the smallest one among big cats.Infact they are smaller than some large cats from felinae family such as mountain lions.
Sagar Abraham
Nothing I said was "not true." Interested readers can go here if they like: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felinae
Michele Posadas best believe that cheetah ain't domestic
Something about seeing less fortunate people being happy with what they have (like the driver having a old, non smartphone and still being happy with it) is so pure and heartwarming.
I would be so tempted to pet that cheetah if it was sitting next to me in that car. When the cheetah was staring through the windshield, I was like: "turn on the wipers for kitty play time!"
The balls you need to have going out to study some of the most cold blooded predators in the world without any doors on your safari jeep
he's like checking place out - "Yep, I could live here."
You, Sir, are totally insane. Beautiful video, though.
@Matthias Jaeger Nah, not when they're hungry.
iVirtuosoMCMXC did a cheater tell you that
Cheetah be like "You humans can't get away if you *wanted* to. Surrender now and I shall make your death quick and near painless..."
The cheetah was on car inspection duty. He find every part of that car well maintained so he left. Then when he started to play he remembered about his bae's last text- "I'm in home alone" and he ran towards it. End of the story
That is absolutely amazing! He's so beautiful and just looks inquisitive...Great clip!

Amazing. No way you could do that with a leopard .
no way.there wont be any video if yhis was a leopard
@@megmimi3410 A leopard would have preferred to be on top the vehicle anyway.
On Big Cat Diary there was a female cheetha that would get on top of their jeeps or go underneath for the shade . But inside the truck like that is crazy , I would've been so scared lol .
olivia kessler cheetahs don attack humans so no worries.
Oh, yeah. Oooh, ahhh, that's how it always starts. Then later there's running and um, screaming.
0:43 he's like, "Sup dude, just checking if this vehicle is safe for ya"
I don't know whether I would be amazed or scared as hell......
Probably scared as hell
That a rare and an amazing experience
omg you are sooo lucky !!! on top of my bucket list it to see these amazing creatures in their natural habitat
thanks for sharing
He is like damn this humans have changed,while we we here wondering in the jungle
The cheetas name is malaika or one of her cubs she usually climbs cars
Wow,that really is amazing,don't think that I would have kept that calm like those guys did,what an experience though!
Proceeds to photograph Cheetah with Nokia phone. “
He's on the hood, thinking like, "Go, go! I'll lead the charge! Charge!" "No? Aww, shucks?'
La sonrisa del hombre al estar tan cerca del animal no tiene precio, veo una gran admiración y cariño en su mirada. 🤗👏👏
Absolutely stunning! Such a beautiful creature. Perfect video if the camera clicks had been silent. Thanks for sharing with everyone.
Vous êtes stupide !
the cat was just happy it in a big box with squishy seats lol. he had this face that screamed "I think I found the promise land guys. it is a box. and the box has comfortable seats."
he's like like, this is the life,I don't have to run 70 mph. I want one of these.
I am glad you are are calm, that could have ripped your face off
Oh man must've been an awesome experience
he’s like “damn, nice ride you got here pal”
Cute but terrifying. I would have wanted to pet it then again I enjoy being alive with all of my limbs intact.
I promise to myself to never buy fur coats and to stop everyone from buying them so the evils who hunt these beautiful beasts down may starve to death and burn in hell
We must protect cheetahs at all costs🥺❤
You can tell these beautiful cats are use to people. You can actually make this type of breed a member of the family. (A Pet)
CAT: Yeah, that looks like a good place to take a sh!t
Human: ???
Swear I could see him thinking, "OK, I can relax for a moment, those lions won't bother me here."
cheetah are more of the more friendly of the big cats so i do believe this. if it would have been a lion or a tiger or a leopard or jaguar it would not have ended so well.
Curiosity is going to kill that cat...
He's like, "Im no cheetah. I'm a human too!!!!"
*Take the steering wheel*
Cheetah: "Great spot to hang out in the shade, mate!"
That would be awesome looks like he needs a ride and some shade or maybe just a higher view to look over the plains ...:)
Why was the wild cheetah in very close human contact without being threatened or would attack?!
+InsaneHyena lol seriously ?
Most likely because it's regular food so it was available. they don't usually attack people unless they're desperate
"Look, I ordered an Uber to that herd of gazelles, let's go"!
Cheetah: y'all enjoy yourself over there
Am I the only one who finds this cute?
Meme m3 ! I think so to
It is bad that wild animals have no longer fear on humans.
and vice versa
It's so funny how comfortable they look
Cheetahs so laid back I love em
