Someone is gonna need to double check this, but I feel like it’s saw a documentary that said cheetahs are super anxious… in the doc I feel like a guy slept in a makeshift shelter with cheetahs in a thunderstorm to help chill them out.
It sounds so bizarre that im not actually convinced this wasn’t a dream, though…
Sounds about right. In zoos they sometimes pair cheetah cubs with yellow lab puppies to help them deal with the stress of… existing while being a cheetah, I suppose.
There’s a series of photos from a wildlife photographer that are essentially selfies of him with a litter of cheetah cubs that the mother cheetah literally dropped in his lap while she went to go hunt. It’s been theorized that the only reason cheetahs have never been domesticated is that that they’re very difficult to breed in captivity.

The truth is that everyone should be paired with a dog to help them deal with stress.
I have mine. It works wonders.
Can confirm.
Excuse me, but I’m gonna need to see that snoot booped.
Most certainly officer!
Came for the cheetahs, stayed for the adorable snoot boop
♥️
Goodest. Dog. Ever.
Ya, she absolutely is.
It depends on the dog though.
Border collies need to be paired with a human to keep them calm, they’re very highly strung dogs.
No way… Come on… 🥹 That’s adorable… come on now…

I thought they were domesticated many times throughout history, and used for hunting?
Tamed, not domesticated.
The system falls apart without training every generation.
I guess no need to go through the efforts of the classical definition of domestication when you can take them from the wild ready to tame
