@AMS @futurebird Humans can’t outrun them over short sprints, but cheetahs aren’t evolved for distance running, and humans are.

@futurebird @AMS Sure. Go ahead. Then, run faster and farther than the other humans around you.

@futurebird I was not the same after I learned that cheetahs do not roar, but they can meow.

@futurebird I stuck my hand through a lions cage to ‘pet the kitty’ in an old zoo. I didn’t notice that luckily there was an electrified fence that shocked the hell out me, before the lion might have bit it!

@futurebird I was walking back to my village with 2 buddies on the western edge of the Rift Valley escarpment, after quaffing a few beers at the nearest bar. Overlaid on our old tracks was a humongous lion paw print. I immediately looked at the nearest tree: one kilometer away! My pals were Kalinjinn, a tribe with the best runners in Kenya, known for winning Olympic medals. I knew I'd be last in any race to the tree & be lion bait. I wondered if I'd trip a pal to survive - but...no lion.

@futurebird I definitely fall hard and fast for the cheetahs. Of the large wild cats, they're the most "house cat-like."

@futurebird Have you ever seen one in person? I haven't, but I have seen cougar (aka mountain lion, or catamount) and they're scary in a way that doesn't come through in pictures. I totally get wanting to hug a bear (don't!) but never a cougar.

@futurebird @ramsey @AMS it's a leopard, not a cheetah; the spots are arranged in circles of spots, and it has stocky limbs; compare: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheetah#/media/File:Cheetah,_Masai_Mara_(52448476886).jpg but if it was cheetah, I have read cheetah are easy to tame, and that people capturing and taming cheetahs for pet trade is a serious conservation problem. Cheetah are also not nearly as big as other "big cats", so a healthy human that would be in great danger from a leopard (for example ), could probably subdue a difficult cheetah.

@futurebird I saw a wonderful quote that shows you may be right:https://rollenspiel.social/@s0@cathode.church/112340461689647048> And we went out and found dozens of different animals from reptiles to birds to fish to all sorts of mammals of every size and went look! My hands! I can pat you! Wanna be friends?

@futurebird Some of these stripes and spotty kitties look a little more friendly than mountain lions! If you've never heard a mountain lion scream after it's caught prey, the sound will chill you to the bone. That is not a kitty cat that I would want to be near at any time. I can't run fast at all!
