Coalition of cheetahs jump on safari vehicle, enjoy ride with visitors; watch

Cheetahs are big cats and are found in Africa and central Iran. These big cats are the fastest land animal and are capable of running at a speed of 80-98 km/hr. Cheetahs have evolved with time with specialised adaptations for speed. Cheetahs live in a social group and remain active during the day. They hunt down small to medium-sized prey. They stalk their prey before charging them. 

Being carnivores, it is advised to maintain a safe distance from cheetahs. Though there are rare encounters and reports of cheetahs attacking humans, it is certainly better to remain alert to prevent any untoward incident. 

But, here we bring a video that proves that cheetahs can be human-friendly and mean no threat to humans.

In the video, a cheetah can be seen jumping into a safari vehicle while some visitors can be seen sitting inside it. Moreover, a few other cheetahs can be seen atop the vehicle. The people sitting inside the vehicle seem not to be bothered by the approaching cheetah and sit comfortably. 

Later, the video shows a cheetah on the vehicle’s bonnet and other big cats standing on the roof of the vehicle.

Towards the end of the video, the cheetahs can be seen walking away in the grassland.

The video shared on Twitter by Balu Travel Ltd is from Maasai Mara, a large national game reserve in Kenya.

The gesture of the cheetahs and the visitors is winning the hearts of netizens and has gone viral on social media.
