I compare ambush styles of leopards versus cheetahs in my second installment of turning my back to big cats. I wanted to show the comparison between leopards and cheetahs this time. There is a big difference and it is due to the nature of these two predators... based on tons of factors where their mindset and bodies were adapted to hunt a certain way to survive. Where they live is just as important due to provided cover or not.

This is a simple test but does show the nature of these different cats when it comes to approach of their prey. Both have the instinct of ambush, but leopards are masters of it while cheetahs depend mostly on their speed. A leopards hunts mostly from forested areas while cheetahs live and hunt in the open plains.

There are so many factors and reasons why. Size, strength, muscle mass, body types, prey, landscapes, mindsets of the two and so much more. A whole thesis could be written and we're just talking about leopards versus cheetah ambush styles.

The wild cheetahs at Cheetah Experience don't like anyone and won't come close to me to test ambushing. But the tamed ones just don't care about your back because that is not their normal way of predation. They don't need to ambush their prey because none of their prey can out run a cheetah.

Anyway... enjoy the video but don't go thinkin you can just walk into any cheetah enclosure and not get jumped on for any reason. I am cautious and have foreknowledge about the nature of these animals and individuals, like I mention in this video. So please don't.

Thanks for watching!

P.S. Some seem to think I have an uncanny resemblance to Louis C.K. who is an American comedian, writer, actor, and filmmaker. He is known for his use of observational, self-deprecating, dark, and shock humor. Maybe on day I'll impersonate him and interact with these cheetahs, minus any dark humor of course. Not my style.

    Oh wow! As soon as Dolph turned his back, those leopards were alert and interested! When he was sleeping with the cheetahs, they behaved exactly like house cats: “Wakey-wakey! Get up and entertain me!” 😂

    "Leopards have a larger head and jaws, massive paws with retractable sharp claws." Dude spitting lyrics

    *Turns back on leopard for a second Leopards: So you chosen death Cheetahs: So you’ve chosen my tender love and affection

    Leopards: you look away, you’re food. Cheetahs: imma just scooooooot on over and give you smooches, no danger here….
  • @mariofan1ish
    I couldn't help but notice how both Cassius and Gabriel approached when your back was turned, but both started acting cuddly and affectionate once they were noticed. Gabriel approached and walked up to your side and started licking, but Cassius seemed to be in full-on attack mode until he became more lovey, like there was a switch in his head that got turned on and off on a moment's notice. Are a leopard's hunting instincts really that overriding for them, or was Cassius just playing innocent once he realized he got caught?

    Cheetah is just marinating and tenderizing him in his sleep.
  • Leopard ambush to eat. Apparently cheetahs ambush to do a full on intensive make-out session.
  • He: Sleeps in cheetah's place Cheetah: yo wake up, it's not safe sleeping around big cats!
  • @wolfyou
    Someone: *turns their back to leopard* Leopard: your existence is temporary
  • Cheetahs: "will love and cherish you" Leopards: "dang you look kinda tasty bruh"
  • @stapler942
    I love that low thrumming of the cheetah purr. I could see it putting me to sleep if the cheetah weren't trying to wake their human up all the time. 😂
  • @MikMoen
    I can very easily see how our hunter gatherer ancestors decided to tame Cheetahs. Absolute motorboat purring death machines.
  • @Jevix-xl1tx
    Human: (turns around) Leopard: your free trial of living has expired
  • @dwoodward931
    Leopards: this man is our friend, we'll lick and groom him turns back Leapords: I've never met this man in my life
  • Leopard: Yo, you and me? We're cool. You're cool, but don't you ever turn your- Guy: Turns back Leopard: So you have chosen death.
