2nd reunion HERE! • Man Reunites With Afri...
3rd Reunion HERE! • What It's Like Having ...
4th Reunion HERE! • VBlog Documentary 3 Ye...
I met Gabriel the Cheetah a year ago in 2014 at Cheetah Experience when he was 10 months old; spending a majority of my free time playing, walking, wrestling, hanging out, letting him groom, feeding, and even sleeping at night with him. He is now an adolescent Cheetah and exactly the same as I remembered him; very affectionate; mouthy and nibbly; licky, and loving to love.
My very 1st encounter with any Cheetah was with Gabriel last year. He immediately came to me the 1st day without reservation; chewing on my pants & knee. I was apprehensive about Cheetahs but Gabriel kept coming to me. I was told he liked men & that is why he approached me. He soon took away any fears I had of him & the other Cheetahs on the farm. I still kept a healthy respect for them, but no longer feared them.
I don't know if Gabriel remembered me or not, he seemed confused who I was when we 1st met between the fence. But his old personality shined through over the weeks as I continued meeting him between the fence & inside his enclosure. I was told he had changed but discovered he had not with me.
Gabriel really likes human contact and interaction. It's rewarding to him. Initially the staff did not want me interacting with Gabriel because of a concern for my safety & how he became aggressive with staff & volunteers in the past. I hope this video will show how Gabriel can play nice but beware of certain people he doesn't show affection towards. Don't interact with him anytime during feeding, that is where I noticed him get 'bitey'. I hope that me being the 1st volunteer who knew and interacted directly with Gabriel will help his plight. He can be a VERY loving Cheetah and loves to love.
1st I should explain the purpose of raising tamed Cheetahs at this breeding center. The term most describing it is Husbandry and has similar goals as when raising domesticated animals. For endangered predators, the purpose is to allow a safe, stress free, comfortable, relaxed, and conducive environment for successful reproduction. It's a numbers game for the Cheetah. There are only 10,000 left on this earth.
This centers success in breeding Cheetahs is contributed in part to human interaction. Less stress... more likely they will perform natural breeding. The females even allow staff to feed and interact with them after giving birth. That is because they are humanized. It also saves having to tranquilize them which is dangerous. With trust, you can give advanced health care to a wild animal; apply salves, give pills, transport them, and give hands on examinations; looking for problems. Minor injuries can become major ones. You can't treat a wild, untamed animal without sedation. You have to dart them which is painful, a health risk, and creates more distrust. And the reward of interaction is immeasurable for someone like me who loves animals.
Sometime when I left CE, Gabriel was placed inside an enclosure with another Cheetah out of public and volunteer view because of acting up. I had to ask to see him, but was escorted. He had jumped on some female volunteers; grabbed a female volunteers pony tail; not letting go, bit a female staff members ankle, & attacked another female Cheetah. I notice a pattern here. Gabriel prefers men & does not respect females, to include Cheetahs. For 3 weeks, I never saw him groom the female Cheetah living with him.
Gabriel won't groom woman that work there either; only men. I watched as one of the female keepers offered her leg up for a groom & he took a couple licks and stopped; refusing to groom any further. He'll groom another male keeper & me until we bleed.
It could be the salt, extra hair, or maybe the scent of men that attracts Gabriel, but I think it's more than that. I think it's instinctive. Young male Cheetahs form coalitions in the wild with other male Cheetahs to hunt, gain territory, and find mates. Gabe knows the difference between men and woman and I think prefers men because of his instinctive nature. There are many accounts of wild coalitions of male Cheetahs sticking together until their deaths. But as the Selena Gomez songs says, "The Heart Wants What It Wants". Gabe's nature sure made my relationship with him very special & for that I am truly thankful. He, among other wonderful Cheetahs I met are the reason I love Cheetahs now. My favorite cat.
It was really nice reacquainting with my old Cheetah friend Gabe. I have a full time job and use my vacations to volunteer.
Thank you Gabriel for a wonderful reunion. I hope you remembered me. I sure remember you.

Three things I gauged from this video:
1. Gabe is a good boy
2. Gabe's tongue hurts and it makes him bleed.
3. Gabe is a good boy.
Did you also know they had a good relationship a year ago?
Gabe's also a good boy

Yah, but still, Gabe's a good boy.
And boy does his tongue hurt!
freakishlylargeclown did you also know Gabe is a good boy?

Holy shit. Thanks for the laugh mate. Cheers
lmao
hahahahahahahhahahahahahaha

...and a 100 % reason to remember the name...?
I didn't realize I was such a good boy. Now I do.
Your name Is gabe. Liked the comment, nice 😂👌
Good boy, gabe

The story of a good boy
Billy gabe :D
zdechlaczek521 lmfao I did not expect that in comments today X'D
BBB FLMAO!!!
With a sharp tongue lol
With the hurtful tongue.
When your friends with an animal at an early age,you are friends for life.
@Odell Mateo I hope its a tranq gun,but its probably not ?
This is especially true with Cheetahs.
They get bullied by scavenger birds, these guys would run away before trying anything even against a human.
Don't take this theory literally, cheetahs are special but other big cats would devour you the moment you turn your back on them, they are highly unpredictable. They aren't dogs, they have no sense of loyalty.
@@BigBrotherTheWatcher1984 cheetah’s are the most house cat - like big cat
@@mattplayzgamezandstuff8790
Cheetahs aren't categorised as big cats since thet are not the members of the genus Panthera like tigers, lions, jaguars and leopards.
"you're a good boy, Gabe!"
*licks face off*
"good boy!"
This comment needs more upvotes. Gabe is indeed a good boy *bleeding while grinning enthusiastically*
Worth it
The only words in this video were:
"Good boy Gabe, good boy, good boy! Ow that hurts. Good boy Gabe!"
LOL
permos12345 literally
lmao 😂😂😂😂
I started reading at a random point in the video and that was exactly what he said when i did...
oh and uh dont forget "oh wow his tounghe is sharp!" lol
I've been growing this suspicion that gave is ACTUALLY a good boy
yea we get it...totally not 50 comments saying the same thing
crap doodle gave?
His purr is beautiful.
Ya know... my husband snores that loud but not in that rhythm. Maybe I could train him? LOL That purr is so SOOTHING!
Sim.
I didn't know cheetas purred. It sounds like an idling Ferrari.
Cougars purr too. Their tongues are very problematic on human skin too.
Mmmm the Ferrari engine needs major work! LOL
@@PhemoneMedea what's wrong with their tongues
@@harveyrouen4655ever feel a house cats tongue? like all cats theyre covered in tiny razors. The bigger the cat, the bigger the razors.
They're the fastest land animal so I guess it's somewhat appropriate for them to sound like that
:::pulls back hand::: Sees he only has four fingers left: "I noticed Gabriel is biting harder than last year"
Gooood boy Gabriel!
😂
Hahahaha. I couldn't stop laughing at your comment.
LMFAO 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
+Diana Foster time for you to untwist you panties.
+Diana Foster he joking bruh
It hurts when my cat licks my face. Cant imagine this.
Very bad... I grew a beard since.
@@CheetahWhisperer Also known as a "tactical hard scrub buffer".
@im an idoit Hahah THis video has almost 10 mil views. Wow. I was impressed with 1mil and not my greatest work! Thx for asking about Gabe's. I love him and he is 7 years old. He is actually moving to a new cheetah breeding project end of this year, I hope. Covid delays is the only thing that could stop it. He will have more an active life and breeding one too. He is going to Running Wild Conservation. They impress upon breeding with focus on moms raising cubs and releasing. The other project does some of this too but not as focused as RWC does and why I am moving him there and be more involved with them.
Yeah thankfully I have a beard now but my cats I had when I was a kid oof it was torture when he licked my face.
It's the same but more.
I dont know how any one could hurt hunt shoot one of THESE fantastic cats so beautiful
Sadly theirs a lot of people out their who get a kick out of barbaric acts of cruelty.
I wonder how Gabe would react to Trump Jr (lunch?)
@mark spannar The facility in this video is not a controlled hunt. Cheetah are endangered species, their survival depends upon man being thoughtful and kind.
Please.
@@PoM-MoM I think Mark just meant controlling species in general, not cheetahs or any other endangered species. It was a general and validated statement: Controlled hunt helps the ecosystem and the local economy.
mark spannar dumb!
Good boy, Gabe
Oww that hurts
His tongue is sharp
He just loves grooming
Good boy
wow his tongue hurts
Geeeeuuuuuuuuuud Booooooooooooy xD
this was like a 13 min makeout session between some guy and a cheetah.
Yes, a cheetah which apparently prefers men....
...so it would seem the spelling of his name is missing a Y...
(...prob should be "Gaybriel")
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Gabe is more than just a Cheetah. He's a good boy.
mike is more than just a mike. he's a van
Celtic Dread lay off of the meth,buddy.
Mike Van he's not your buddy, Pal
Marcus Fenix I'm not your pal, friend.
Mike Van im not your friend, buddy
Maybe Gab is just marinating and tenderizing him.
M James 😆😂
Then after several hours of spicing it up then..."hissssss! time for a juicy meal!!!! Lol
😂😂😂
Yeah that's what i first thought when he kept constantly licking... especially when he licks neck or forearm, first thought that comes to my mind is vampire movies when they sense your blood pulsating through your veins... i mean animals also aim at throat or sensitive leg parts when they hunt their prey to make it immobile and bleed as fast as possible. And that constant licking just looks really scary lol. I mean one grip to your neck artery and you're done, even if it's not some 180kg lion or 300kg tiger than can drag you away like a puppet, still that's a wild and agile animal that wont miss his attack if he attempts one on you. Knowing that domesticated trained animals like dogs sometimes go mental and may attack their beloved owner out of the blue not just because of instincts but of some brain anomaly, id be more careful with that cat, unless there's someone behind the camera sitting with a tazer. My cousin had a staffordshire terrier when she was a kid, and took her for a walk when suddenly the beloved dog went mental, started whining and literally started chewing her hand. This happened only once through out entire life of that dog who never harmed anyone and died peacefully like 10 yrs later... And still nobody knows was that some epileptic seizure or something else happened with the dog's brain, but you can't really trust any animal no matter if it's domesticated/trained/wild, it's like a russian roulette. If a person may go mental out of the blue, so does animal. I love animals and i would prolly act the same way like this dude, but human emotions make us off guard and the bigger the animal the less chances we have resisting and surviving.
It’s not gab it’s Gabe
I use to have a friend names Gabriel, everyone got his name wrong, putting his name is gab, but it’s Gabe lmao XD XD
The purring from those big cats is hypnotic.
yeah, love cheetah purrs.
@@CheetahWhisperer and they love and trust you wonderful videos Dolph keep em coming.
I like the part when he says good boy
ikr😂😂😂
You mean you liked the whole video😂😂😂
lollllllllll
🐆
you mean the whole video
Wow. Nothing gets passed you, huh?
man, that Cheetah sure knows he is a "good boy"
Andy B *cough* JEFFY *cough* *cough
basic repitition,comforting sounds
Legend has it that Gabe is a good boy.
Don't forget, Gabe may a good boy but it is a wild animal!
@@chrishayes312 yes but this person has an incredible relationship with him, even though he may be a wild animal
@@chrishayes312 It's a cheetah, not a leopard. These guys get bullied by groups of scavenger birds. They will not try anything against an animal standing their ground.
This is just a guess, but I think, he might be a good boy. Not sure though.
I dont know what gave you that idea
LOL,no kidding!
Oh did the host say that? I must have missed that part.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
he's purring just like a domesticated cat, a clear sign that he loves him!
That purr don't lie
Tony Surove ,money dont lie
Yup that is real.
Purr, purr, purr, and then he bit my hand off.
Just like my domestic cat! The same sound.
What do u mean that purr don’t lie?? I️ don’t know much about cats, just curious. Thank you
People always say tame foxes are like cat software in dog hardware
Tamed cheetahs almost seem like dog software in cat hardware
Exactly what I was thinking
Jacob Salomon I don’t think they are tamed cheetahs I think they’re more tolerant cheetahs.
E Whyte yeah, cause y’know, they still bite sometimes (atleast game still does) so HES prob not tame, just more tolerant
Cheetahs have a build similar to a dog if you look at their rear legs. Their claws also do not retract as they are not that kind of predator. When cheetahs evolved -- they kept some traits of canines when canines and felines split off into their separate species. It's fascinating!
Scoentoficaly they are
OMG, I love it! When he saw you he immediately started purring. He loves you and remembered you! So awesome my brother!

Why do they have that on their tongues ..
ben dover to brush through their fur I think
I'm jealous of you!
What an incredible relationship! Anyone that says animals don't have feelings, or a soul, are in denial.
You can see he remembers you, there is just no doubt about it.
I feel like anyone who doesnt think animals have minds or souls cant hace a mind or soul. Like wtf its such a given. Dogs and cats even make human expressions sometimes
You are absolutely right! As a few years ago l had the very rare opportunity of getting into an enclosure with a Bengal tiger, what an experience that was. It was only a baby, but his paws were twice the size of my hands; that's when realize how magnificent these cats are.
More like brainless idiot morons....Sorry to say we have alot of those on this planet.
No living being has a soul. Religion is fake.
Riley 1955
Anyone that says "dumb animals" are the stupidest people on this earth, just look on here to realise how wild animals remember you, and notice because Gabriel remembers him and trusts the female also trusts with no aggression
He's a good boy and definitely remembered you :) His girlfriend was pretty cool too :)
The good boy with sweet girl
"he has a companion cheetah...... she's nice" lol jealousy
Austifornia the cheetah is male🐆🐆🐆
@@jaylablue6515 No shit
Or just happy for him. Can't stand goodness when you see it cause you couldn't imagine yourself saying that with good intentions? Hope you're not like that cause unconditional love exists the only question is where does it come from.
"they called him bad boy gabe when I knew him".....that cheetah really turned his life around
Let's play a game, drink Everytime he says "good boy"
Drink water up you mean?
I would be hammered.
Bro dud man i fhucked up afther 1 minut in2 vedeo

"Did you cut yourself while shaving?" - "No, I'm friends with a cheetah"
Good one Marco, LOL.
Marco Matta - You are funny.
hahahahahaha
😂😂😂
Marco Matta " I did in fact cut myself while shaving" - "what razor do u use?" - "cheetah" - "what?!"
Gabe's like "hey I remember... wait bro you stink, first things first you need a bath!"
I cried watching this,it reminds me of the bond I have with our cat,whom I've taken care of like a little baby since it was a kitten.
That cat (Mittens) got me through a severe nervous breakdown.
I couldn't ask for a more loving cat ever,it curls up and sleeps right by me every night,and of course purrs like crazy. ❤
Thank God for animals ! ✌
:)
@John Bgood, ♥👍
30% licking 70% Good boy Gabe
lol
Vee - LMFAO NITE
Cheetah is really thinking "Hmm, tastes like Turkey, saving this meal for Christmas".
Tony England 😂😂😂😂😂
Ahaha
Spoiler alert: Gabe's a good boy.
Lol that's all he said in the video Lol😂
lol
This comment made me die xD
Circumstantial evidence at best
There's no evidence to support that reckless accusation lol
Some people are able to bond with a cheetah like him and others still try to tame their hamster like me.
😂😂😂
Hahah😂😂
80% Good Boy
8% Cheetah
12% Buddy
I don't know why, but videos like this always make me feel serene and happy.
Me too
+Christopher Hart I love to hear the purr.
yea.....
ikr
+Christopher Hart || Me too. I think we both need to volunteer to one of these places.
I suspect Gabriel is a good boy.
I have reason to believe your suspicion is correct.
thegrimyeaper Yes, I am.
This requires further experimentation.
Why gabriel no bite bite him? How come so good? Let say that dude slap and kick the cheetah, do you think the cheetah will attack him?
:)))))
they recogonize your scent for life.
That's true❤️🇮🇹
@@sabrinadecristofano7538 ciao zia
I'm crying!!!! The bond animals have one of the most powerful magic anyone can ever experience
Aww he REALLY IS a good boy!!
now i know why cheetah run so fast, you can heard its machine
"He bites too hard"--I suspect this is a per-animal thing. I have one housecat who is a grand master of the gentle bite, which he loves to do. I have another who does not understand this, and always bites as hard as she can (even when it's just affectionate play) so she has learned she is not allowed to bite at all.
Dan Nuttle the one who bites too hard was probably taken away from their siblings too young. They’re supposed to be together for the beginning weeks so they can see how hard is too hard by the other kitten reactions.
Or the cat was wild and someone tried to tame it, and failed, and it became only a bit tolerant to humans
This is so cute! Who would dislike this???

Idk
Dude, you say "good boy" as much as you want. It doesn't bother me at all. I'm enjoying the love you two share. Pay no mind to people who feel the need to leave negative comments on a beautiful vid. 💕
What a great boy he is. I’m jealous you get to spend time with one of the most fascinating cats in the world.
A beautiful Kitty with a very loud purr.. 🇪🇸
I'm only left with one question after this wonderful, educational video
is Gabe a good boy??
JaystarofBloodclan
JaystarofBloodclan LMAO
JaystarofBloodclan 🤣🤣🤣
JaystarofBloodclan LOL🤣🤣🤣🤣
JaystarofBloodclan lol. I had TWO Questions:
1) Is Gabriel a good boy?
2) Is his togue sharp??
Drinking game: everytime he says "good boy" in the video, take a shot.
Drinking game: every time he says "that hurts" in the video, take another shot.
Don't do this. You'll die.

i would end up in the hospital after the first 3 mins of this video lol
103 times.
The trust this guy has is impressive.... cats are there own boss.
Love your interaction with Gabe. All living organisms are truly connected in many ways!!!❤️
@Silvera Family, Yes !♥👍
He has a female companion "she's really nice"
David Cruz Comment of the week
But is she a good girl?
Good girl!
it seems pretty clear to me that the cheetah has been missing him!
Seeing how beautiful life really is, is just amazing. No matter what animal or species you are, you still have that remembrance of love. This cheetah clearly loves this man and he was just missing house favorite person. 🥰❤️
The love between the child and a parent is magic. This cheetah thinks he is loving his parent. Anyone can sense the bond and magic between them- just lovely.
“Oh that hurts, good boy good boy.” I love this
I recorded way too much of my mello dramatic crap in there... I know. I've improved my videos since then. I have matured on social media.
Oww, Gabe, you're ripping the flesh off my nose and chin....GOOD BOY, GOOD BOY!
Good boy Gabrielle..
ow that hurts...ow OW THAT HURTS! lolol
Like yea half the video 😂😂😂 he's so patient

This was so sweet. His purring was cute too .
really, don't underestimate big cats, they remember people years later
+Abida Babida Well that's because no animal is stupid, dogs do it too, and very probably several different species too, including reptiles and even fish. The whole '3-5 second memory ' thing in fish has been debunked.

Listen to that beautiful purring.
Had no idea they purred, my cat I can hear from a floor away
Lovely no? I love big cat purrs. Cougars sound so cute purring away like a motorboat. Jaguar's attempt at purring sounds like a motor boat being slightly swamped.
Even through my headphones this purr cured my depression!
What a beautiful story!
:) it continues... as I re-unite every year with him.
I love how he "booped" the camera ❤️
Some have been entertained by how many times I say "Good Boy!" in this video. I can't say it enough. BUT, for everyone who counts the number of times I say "Good Boy", (minus when I say it under the voice overs because its hard to determine) and I'll send you a special private video of Gabriel that no one has seen. I'll give everyone until September 1, 2015. I need to count it as well and then pick out an interesting video of Gabriel doing something naughty.
Dolph C. Volker Sir, you said good boy 84 times exactly ( counted which was audible to me) didint count the good girl.. i would love to see a private video cant get enough of these magnificent creatures! :)
Dolph C. Volker It's terrible that people kill these beautiful and amazing animals for their pelt!
I also counted "Good Boy" to 84 times, but due to partially broken headphones, it is sometimes hard to hear sounds. But I hope i counted right :)
New sub.
You said good boy 84 times I recall.
Dolph C. Volker 84 times you said "Good boy!" ! i would really like to see that video, i really love to see all kind of feline, and i first saw the video of you, laying under a tree with Eden, and this was freaking amazing! man, i would do anything to cuddle a big cat like that! you are one lucky guy that made the right choices in your life to live that! I hope you'll show me that special video! ;P

This cat is nicer than 99% of domesticated cats.
A LOT of house cat owners mention this. I was a dog owner most of my life.
Agree
I don’t get that. The many kitties I have had over the years are sweet and loving, even what some would consider doglike in the way they follow me, run to the door when I come home, and constantly seek affection.
All the cats I've ever had in my life over the years (many) have been sweet, loving friends. Very unique personalities, and ways of interacting, but all absolutely wonderful companions that will remain in my heart and memory always.
Haha I believe there’re so many nice cats, but some don’t like to show their love by these obvious behaviors that can be easily recognized by human. My cat seldom does these to me, but my kitten always comes and checks my mum’s heartbeat to make sure she’s alive bc my mum doesn’t have a good heart lol. But generally, many domestic cats truly seem indifferent all the time haha
Big cat purring! Priceless!
Cheetahs have always been my favorite Big Cats! I would love to be that close up and personal with a cheetah!..60 mph! Go Cheetahs! Majestic animals!🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱
Cheetahs are an amazing cat and so deserve preserving.
Gabriel was purring. Super great story. Animals are so much smarter and more aware than a lot of people will admit. We're responsible to how we treat animals.
That's brave letting a big cat nibble a fragile nose
MrGriff305 Brave or stupid.He put his Hands in there too. Even if I raise them I couldn't do that Just because of its nature
lexxzus it's nature is mostly like house cats
Wolf King 1. House cats are domesticated and less likely to act on aggressive instincts towards people and 2. House cats often get over-stimulated and bite out of affection or playing too rough.
That said, if a big cat bites, a person loses their face.
lexxzus .. agreed. I love cats, but they crazy sometimes
more brass than brains
That's their way of saying they miss you.
if you say something often enough it must be true... i am handsome, i am handsome, i am handsome, i am handsome. gosh i guess it needs 91 times hahahahaha
gabes is a good boy
I only have 3 questions. Is Gabe a good boy? Does he like to groom? Does his tongue hurt?
Hahaha does gabe really a good boy seriusly
You made my day
That kitty just LOVES HIM,,❤💓😉😊! He misses his BUDDY BEAUTIFUL CAT💓💕💖💞💞❤💘💘💗💗🐱
Dolph - I say “good boy” to my cat whenever he does something I want him to do (eat his food, drink water, etc.). I want him to associate “good boy” with approval. So, I think it’s smart of you to say the same thing to Gabriel.
I also think cats remember people for a LONG time. I have friends my cat likes who visit me once a year, and my cat knows them by sight!
Right on...!
Awww! That is so cute! Once a kitten licked me and it hurt a little. I know it means love, but I can't imagine what that feels like. My dog has a wayyyyyy softer tounge.
Definitely.
This is so amazing. They're the only large cats who purrs. I never forget when I got myself a small kitten; The first evening I was worried about where he'd chose to sleep. II turned off the lights and it took 3 minutes before he jumped up in my bed, pushed his back against my torso and started purring like a Spitfire plane! Before work around 06:00 AM he stood on my chest and gently patted my cheek with his paw - Time to get UP! I want food!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Actually mountain lion's are the largest cat that purrs.
16 years together and my little “cheetah” still wakes me with a gentle but persistent cold little paw to the face when he thinks it is time for breakfast.
LOVELY story friend
John Doe
You were fortunate just to get a gentle pat on the face
My two when they wanted me up. used to climb on top of the large wardrobe in my bedroom and dive from the top on to my chest...... yeah I remember that
Thats a good example of treating Animals with care and respect, god bless you sir.
They are very much loved... by me for sure and staff. It shows in their behaviors... glad you noticed it.

Another Excellent videos on CZcams is, fly fish, he has deer , I watched all of his videos very Touching.👍
This is both eucational and compassionate at the same time, which is great. Wild animals are no joke, and yet we know they are sentient creatures whose well-being we should uphold.
for all those saying why he saying good boy he probably said that alot when they met each other and the cheetah probably likes hearing him say that cause he remembers that
It is true. I cannot purr like a cheetah and my "Goodboy" is my purr back to him. But it is ok if people are entertained, disgusted or teasing about it. Gabriel will always be a goodboy to me. I love this cheetah and trying to gain full ownership of him one day.
+Dolph C. Volker yes and its awful they are endangered..infuriating..the beautiful wise wild.
Dolph C. Volker - I noticed that, too, and knew that's what you were doing. He remembered you and responded to your affirmations. So cool!
@@CheetahWhisperer That is the most important thing. Nothing else matters. I hope you do get full ownership of him one day. He will always remember you.
Good luck!
@@akumaplantstudios8869 A couple of years later, I convinced the owner to sell him to me. I am the legal guardian of Gabriel the Cheetah and we are both very happy. I hope to show him some freedom one day on an open game range and walk with him off lead and give him the choice of coming and going as he pleases as I live on this range.
Take a shot every time he says good boy
Argene Bryans you would be long dead by the end of the video
i like my liver
I'd be Charlie Sheen-level wasted! 😂
Get ready for 84 shots than.
Argene Bryans you might as well feed your liver to a cheetah
Awesome. Thank you for caring for these beautiful loving animals. And for showing us your unique relationship. Fills my heart.
Even animals need love and affection,never mind humans! Through this video we witness
The power of love.
Trust and connection are absolute as well, which is why its up to any animal lover to connect with our other fellow residents because most people are disdained by wild animal interaction (they think its stupid to talk to them like they arent beings thay have feelings or intellect) and think we should stay seperate so animals wont get too cozy and bug their living areas, despite many animals habitats being destroyed and species being forcefully relocated to endangerment... Cant blame a wild animal for being untrusting and aggressive towards people, but its a real thing of beauty when despite all of this, connections are made, and animals have been shown to be the most loyal.

- Too much "GOOD BOY", not enough cheetah
Gabriel can't help it man, he's a good boy!
cats are affectionate.. awesome creatures :-)
Yes they are like us, if we are short of food in a world collapsed, we eat our loved pet too, even if we are sorry doing that.

Are you having that kind of thought whenever you think of cats and dogs, or pets in general?
Bc this seems a bit out of context.
"Cheetahs like men" Another mans best friend to add to the clan. 💪🏻
He is so majestic you are so blessed to have him in your life
Drinking game: Every time he says "Good boy" take a shot.
Every time he says the tongue hurts, take two shots.
