This bothers me as terribly wrong. Why don't the cheetahs attack her? Is there something else going on out of frame? Girl raised as bushman | ||

These are obviously domesticated or semi domesticated cheetahs in some sort of a preserve. See the way they respond when she dropped her shoe? They thought it was feeding time. I suppose I could have pulled a similar stunt with our friends' cheetahs in Namibia. "...Africa. I love it, and there is no reason for me to explore why. She affects some people that way, and those who feel as I do need no explanation." from The Last Safari | |||

The start of the video reminded me of the Lion called Christian. Previously 500N with many thousands of posts ! | |||

Maybe our African friends can set this straight, but those have got to be somewhat tame cheetahs in an enclosure, otherwise why would so many be grouped together? I think cheetahs are more of a solitary or very small family group dwellers. LORD, let my bullets go where my crosshairs show. Not all who wander are lost. NEVER TRUST A FART!!! Cecil Leonard | |||

Girl raised as bushman Opening scene of the video features a real native (bushman/San) woman, who has been well fed lately: This is a good example of an adaptive genetic trait, the medical term for which is "steatopygia" (fat deposits in buttocks genetically programmed for survival in feast-or-famine environments): stee-at-oh-pidge'-ee-uh Lay terminology for this condition is: "Baby got back!" Butt, the blond woman suffers from excessive fat storage between the ears. The medical term for that is "assinine-o-crania" also called "craniorectal inversion." Lay terminology for this condition includes "attention-seeking behavior" and "sh#t for brains." | |||

My daughter plays with our cheetahs all the time. When the cheetahs were small, she used to come back from school with her friends and spend most of the afternoon playing with them. We had to drag them out of there as both the girls and the cheetahs don't want to part! | |||

Of course they are in an enclosure and semi-tame or you would never get this close to them. That said, a coalition of five cheetah is not unheard of. | |||

Very cool!!! I'm not sure who I enjoyed watching more the cheetahs or the blond. She definitely knows what she is doing. DRSS Searcy 470 NE | |||

First off, cheetahs as a rule do like to tangle with anyone or anything fight wise unless it is prey. This is natural and is to avoid any injury which in their natural state could prevent them from hunting and therefore starving. It is obviously a breeding establishment. Anyway, have a look at this; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8QgXdoLCMM my pleasure. | |||

The blond women is Marlice van Vuuren. She has been working with injured and orphaned animals for years, and is best known for her work with cheetahs in Namibia. She currently runs the N/áan ku sê Wildlife Sanctuary, Namibia with her husband Rudie. I think it is over 10 years since I saw her for the first time on Animal Planet. Worth seeing .....

Awesome example of fight, fright, flight response in animals. Also very interesting to see the different reaction and behavior of the individual cats. I hunt to live and live to hunt! | |||
