Man stops a cheetah with the force

"This is not the snack you are looking for."

Force is strong in mustache

That's not a chad stache. That's an oliver stache.

*round of applause for Oliver*

What's that a reference to, if I may ask?

Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time…

That’s General comandante Chad-Mustache Kenobi to you.

Looks more like your mom’s butt

You said the word Chad totally worth my thumbs down

Mr. Pringle’s son out here on a different level.

Mr. Pringle vs Chester Cheetah

All that flavor and you expected him to turn out anything but "different level"?

"The only one who could ever stop me, was the son of a Pringles can"

“Once you you pop, you just can only stop cheetahs”

Mr. Pringle requested to have his ashes be buried inside a Pringle can. His two sons obliged.

It's Van Pelt's son.

Mr Pringles just destroyed the Cheetos cheetah

The guy who created the Pringles had his sons bury him in a…can of Pringle’s. Source? NPR’s Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me.

"Apologize to me that you were born into my world."

You’re approaching me? WHO DECIDED THAT.

a👏🏼ni👏🏼me

That cheetah saw the mustache and said "nah fam i respect that"

That cheetah has heard legends about that mustache.

but the legend of the rent was way hardcore

“How can you kick me out of what is mine?!?”

Well you’re not hardcore…

Unless you live hardcore…

Your kids have touched me, and I’m pretty sure I’ve touched them too…

You sir or ma'am, are a legend. A face melting legend.

Did you also just watch this movie yesterday? Because that would be weird and awesome!

"Dude, that guy had serious whiskers"

Yeah that had nothing to do with the force and was 100% the power of that 'stache.

my mistake, I thought you were Anthony.

"I know a pedostache when I see one and that is definitely a pedostache."

Came here to say that

the mustache is even more impressive

man transcended to moustachio

It commands respect across species lines.

M8 looks like he'd tie his enemy's girl to a railroad.

Still a neat look.

Bruh this is so accurate

Also happens to carry one of those old timey spherical black bombs on him at all times.

This unlocks memories I didn’t know I had.

With a vest like that, a mustache like that and the obvious confidence you know that he knows what he's doing.

Edit: typo

i guess we'll never know

All hes missing is a pith helmet

Sith helmet, surely?

Cheetas ain't shit. Not only are they inbred, can't climb trees but they're so tired after a hunt that literally anything can flex on them and steal their kill.

Still cool, though.

Best Amazon review I’ve read.

Cheetahs live in Africa, the Amazon is in South America.

Next time maybe look at a globe sweaty 😎

^(-Posted from Samsung Galaxy Smart Garbage Can)

Sweaty? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Yes Deer? (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ

Actually, Amazon is ubiquitous.

They just maxed the speed stat, kinda boring tbh

Thanks, that was pretty entertaining.

Just subscribed.

Tierzoo is 100% binge worthy and informative content that most people should watch.

The way he explains how certain traits developed gives you a really good understanding of how earth evolved and progressed over the millennia.

Evolution is insanely easier to understand when you think of it like stat shifting. It's obviously more complex than that but it helps you understand the strangeness of some animals

Me too. r/outside meets r/nature.

Yea but free reign on farming that sweet lope

Jaguars on the other hand. Probably the most OP cats.

Less bite force, lives close to a massive population of its only predator, bigger so needs more food, doesn't have the black skin DLC.

Still a nice build, but I understand players going for the South American meta.

True for the most part, but that's leaving the most impressive prey the jaguar hunts, aka anacondas.

And house cats are just monsters, they don't count. It's an ancient dev tool they forgot in the new builds, and it has sometimes lead to severe unbalanced servers.

thank you for putting this convo in words i can understand

I watched a documentary on their king. I was not impressed.

Cheetah feet are more like dog feet then cats. Their claws can barely move, in exchange they have better grip when running.

they don't have retractable claws, no?

They're cats that can't cat

Finally someone raised this issue I mean we should have sanctuary for them they are weak smaller than most other wild cats have a tiny bitch mouth can't protect their children for shit even a wild dog can over power them gets tired after 20 seconds of running and at a risk of heart failure even after all that their prey gets stolen at a daily basis

Cheetahs are also the tamest of the big cats. They should just be semi-domesticated so they can be properly protected by human intervention or else they're very likely to go extinct in a century or two. People have kept pet cheetahs for centuries. The ancient Egyptians used to have pet cheetahs on leashes just like dogs, the Mughal Kings in India used to keep pet cheetahs and use them for hunting like with hunting dogs. If cheetah cubs grow up around humans, they behave just like big house cats and will attack a human no more than a house cat is likely to do so. In fact most Cheetahs will prefer to shy away from any confrontation because they know they're super weak and any injury could mean they wont be able to hunt for food anymore and could end up starving to death.

There's this super awesome (but also heart breaking) documentary where this guy in Africa raises up two orphaned Cheetah cubs with the purpose of releasing them into the wild once they grow up. The whole time they cheetah cubs just behave like house cats and were super friendly towards their handlers. However the cheetahs struggled in the wild on their own because they weren't very used to fending for themselves and also because Cheetahs just generally do shit in the wild getting muscled around by lions, hyenas, warthogs and any animal that can put up a fight to them.

Yeah that's what iam saying there should be more reserves for cheetah

My brother and I have always dreamed of opening up a Cheetah reserve. We live in Vegas so we could be out in the desert with plenty of land and space in like 40 mins. 4-5 different cheetahs and some puppies for them to play with. A truly beautiful life. And I mean what women wouldn’t be interested in a cheetah reserve owner. Like that’s a show stopper at a bar.

If an animal isn't built to survive in the wild, then we shouldn't always intervene. Unless they have some vital impact to balance of the eco system we shouldn't choose what we can save based on how cute they are.

George Carlin said it best. “Let them go gracefully.

A lot of the reasons these animals are going extinct are directly because human interventions. In India humans literally hunted Cheetahs into extinction. There's even a photo of an Indian King posing with the last 3 remaining Cheetahs in India which he hunted to extinction. The only Asiatic Cheetahs, which once roam all across Asia from Turkey to China are now only confined to a handful of Cheetahs in small reserves in Iran.

Similarly in Africa Cheetahs are losing habitat due to human encroachment. Cheetahs hunting grounds are getting smaller and smaller because humans are taking up more of their savannah land. This is putting them into closer competition with lions who kill their cubs to reduce competition and hyenas who gang up on the Cheetahs and steal their prey. If Cheetahs had enough territory to their own then they would be doing just fine hunting away from Lions and Hyenas.

If everyone had the attitude like yours where we simply allow the weak animals to go extinct because they could not survive any longer in the environment we created for them, then we would only be left with cats, dogs, rats, pigeons, seagulls, farmstock and cockroaches as the only animals left on the planet apart from humans!

And on the flip side we still interfere more with the more commercially exploitable endangered species because they can bring in more money.

Pandas and polar bears make better stuffed animals than mollusks or some time of fern.

I also stated if they can't survive in the wild. If we're hunting them and destroying their land then it's more than just the wild they have to survive, isn't it...

A small cat can inflict quite a bit of damage, even when playing around. I can imagine cheetahs would mess you up pretty well even if they are “weak”.

Mostly because of their extremely sharp retractable claws.

Nobody doubts that they wouldn't be "messed up" by a Cheetah, but in close quarters, the cat's main priority would be going for the kill and IF that fails, it's now time to gtfo. A human, on the other hand, would fight to the death (which 99% of animals won't) and probably win since these cats are not made to take any damage back while hunting or they're in big trouble. So, yes, cool video, but not shockingly so.

Cheetahs have claws that are blunt, slightly curved and only semi-retractable. They’re like running spikes, used to increase traction while pursuing prey. Ridges running along the footpads act like car tire treads for additional traction.

Source for any of your claims? Animals won't fight to the death but humans will?? What orifice was this pulled from?

Your back one with my retractable claws...

You want me to google that for you and deny you the opportunity to gain some education the old fashioned way? READING. Most animals would rather fight for self preservation than simply for the will to kill. There's multiple examples of humans killing mountain lions (which are much stronger than Cheetah btw) and if you're designed for a one shot to the neck and fail, the next step is to gtfo. They kill for the hunt, but most animals wouldn't stick around for an extended fight because that's more injuries to themselves. I'm not saying that if cornered, they wouldn't, I'm saying that given the opportunity to flee, they most likely will.

Edit: removing redundancies.

Humans have won 1x1 vs Pumas, Pumas are stronger and bigger than cheetahs

Cats can mess you up if you anger them. So can dogs too. Yet we still keep them as pets because if you treat them well with respect, they will also treat you well with respect. Cheetahs are really no different. They're not like Lynxes or Leopards who will become temperamental with unpredictable fight or flight responses or "play" really rough, trying to dominate you and injuring you in doing so. Cheetahs are a lot more gentle like house cats. They're more lightly to flight than to fight. When around people or other animals (like companion dogs who grow up with Cheetahs in captivity to help reduce their stress) they trust, they behave very calmly and bond to their keepers just like house cats can bond to their owners.

Not Chester cheetah.

Yessss! When I was a kid, my mom would always put on 'Hatari!' (John Wayne in Africa... literally) and they have a pet cheetah named Sonia. I loved her.

They're also fairly docile as wild felines go, as there have been many attempts in antiquity to domesticate them as hunting animals. Like the Russian silver fox experiment, after kitten-napping them from their den and hand-raising them, you basically just breed the most docile male to the most docile female, hope that the docility is genetic and passed on; continue until you have house-cheetahs.

There was limited success and/or the empires fell, and the semi-domesticated cheetahs reintegrated into the wild population, passing on a little bit of the 'chill with humans' genes to cheetahs as a whole.

(This being said, don't go and try to pet a wild cheetah; probably won't go well)

The Egyptians (royalty and upper class) had cheetahs are pets. They weren't common, but it wasn't uncommon to see household cheetahs

“they’re so tired after a hunt that literally anything can flex on them”

Go outrun an impala and tell us how you feel afterward.

Edit: TLDR redditors think their better than cheetahs

Actually, humans just outwalk animals and have plenty of energy to defend our catch afterwards. That is how we dominated the world.

Right, that was centuries ago. We are not capable of doing that anymore. Certainly not in most parts of the world. The average redditor couldn’t outwalk a house cat. If anyone else wants to argue, your missing the point of my shitty joke.

I mean just think for a moment, you really think the 5'2 caveman who could die of a small cut because of infections really would beat an average modern person?

I think you might be getting early farmers confused with cave men?

Before the agricultural revolution, farming meant a larger number of shorter/weaker people compared to hunter-gatherers. But the encyclopedia says cro magnon were 5'5" and powerful, not like a malnourished French revolutionary farmer who didn't get enough food growing up to break 5'2".

https://www.britannica.com/topic/Cro-Magnon

That said as an average redditor I don't like my odds against the hungry little farmer either lol

The average caveman would beat the brakes off the average modern person what you people talking about lmao

I’m done with this thread.

Are we talking neanderthal or ancient homo sapiens?

I was implying Neanderthals but whatever

the average caveman was so malnourished it was unreal. people have really diluted ideas in their head

You’re choosing to forget what the word average means.

average neanderthal vs modern average human, im gonna take the modern human. neanderthal life expectancy was like 32 years old lmao.

you're choosing to be delusional

Not saying I disagree, but curious wut does infant mortality matter if the statistic is based on the ones who survived.

so when they determined the life expectancy youre saying the countless infant deaths brought the average down? so how long did they live ignoring what babies didnt make it.

I'm with /u/bluevape on this one. The average person has less than 2 arms/legs, but we don't automatically assume an average person has a couple fingers/toes missing. By the same token, if you allow for high child mortality and violent accidents in the past (plus acute famines/plagues that couldn't be regionally escaped), the neanderthals who made it to old age had great health and way more muscle mass than us. Saying we have health care to survive after a fight is a totally different claim than saying we would win a fight. If both were average "healthy" for their time period then hardly any contemporary people are fit enough to beat a neanderthal who has survived to the same age.

their average height was a foot shorter and about 40lbs less.

you can be with him all you want, doesn't make you less wrong

uhh, what kind of human are you talking about? i was talking about cro magnon which were a little bit bigger than us according to the link i just used https://www.britannica.com/topic/Cro-Magnon

i'm not trying to deny the laws of physics or anything. weight classes exist for a good reason otherwise it's less fair

Because so many died as babies. Not because people actually died at 32.

You have diluted ideas in your head if you think a hunter-gatherer was malnurished.

Recent anthropology has proven this is false. Hunter gather humans had healthy bones and teeth and cared for their elderly and infirmed. Infant mortality was high which dragged down life expectancy. They were also close to modern size, we didn't shrink until agriculture came along.

Can you walk all day?

Can you put left foot in front of right foot for 12 hours?

That's a really low bar for humans, after our pre-hominid ancestors came out of the trees we were selected for bipedalism, and the MASSIVE efficiency bonus we get from that.

I'll grant you that 50,000 years ago human can absolutely outrun me, but the goal is out endure the gazelle who's going to die from heat stroke after a few hours of "run away... Wait .. run away... Wait..." 10-15 miles in a day, at a constant pace, In a reasonably hot environment, and dinner is yours.

And I know plenty of people who cover 10-20 miles a day at comic expos in a day, who are over 300lbs. The average modern human, absolutely can walk a day with only what they carry.

I remember seeing a documentary where modern athlete(s) attempted endurance hunting. The problem was tracking a single animal across variable terrain without losing it, which required teamwork, athleticism, and knowledge/practice. Herd animals are crafty adversaries.

There are deer in the hills here. Just because I can hike all day doesn't mean I can maintain the kind of pace you need not to lose a fucking deer.

Stealth is the hunting method in most landscapes for a reason. You need a lot of wide flat ground with open sightlines and runnable grass for endurance hunting, so a tundra or savannah. There are hunting methods involving pursuit that can work elsewhere but they rely on ambush/ environmental tactics rather than exhaustion. Or the help of faster animals.

Uhhh 300lb people cannot hang on a hike. No way. Been around too many fat people to know this. I’m guessing Comic-Con is air conditioned, with carpeted flat floors.

Weight classes exist for a reason in combat sports my guy, being larger is a HUGE advantage in a fight. The average early human wouldn't stand a chance against the average modern human. We're way taller and because of having readily available food thought our developmental early life were much bulkier even when we aren't overweight. It would be like Kevin Hart trying to fight Shaq.

Ill take an athletic person over a fat tub of lard that gets winded walking up a staircase any day of the week. Weight classes matter when people are similar fitness levels, that goes out the window when a person is fat and sits on their ass doing nothing every day.

Yes. You think you are stronger or a better skilled fighter or have a better immune system than a cave man?

have a better immune system than a cave man

Now that i'm sure of yeah. When the conquistadors went to south america they spread many variants of the flu that decimated the native population. Same for native Americans.

Skilled fighter seems questionable but i think my modern diet and height does make me stronger than cavemen yeah.

This, Christ all of this. Dudes that spend 90% of their life in front of a screen think we can outlast our ancestors in any way. Hell, even those of us who’re healthy gymrats would die in about a month if we had to live in that condition. Reddit, never change

Were much more conditioned and strengthened than our ancestors. Thos of us who take fitness seriously can surpass our ancestors in the wild but you can only do so much with the available nutrition they were dealing with. Like shit our ancestors were jogging 15 miles to eat when theyre already starving and dont have good nutrition.

So not arguing the point at all because most people are SUPER out of shape, but you should listen to ‘Man against Horse’ by Radiolab! In the episode, they talk about a race that’s run every year in Arizona - people running against horses (though the horses ARE ridden, so they stay on course) for 50 miles!

You are so genetically close to your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather that, with a little grooming and a suit they'd be completely indistinguishable in a line up.

That ancestor but the way, has never seen it eaten a cultivated crop. Farming wasn't invented yet. But anatomically, they're identical to us.

Don't need to outrun it, we can kill them with nuclear missiles.

Modern problems require modern solutions

I'm not a predatory animal, you fucking moron.

Even if we compare big cats to other big cats leopards can not only carry their prey but also climb onto a fucking tree with it.

Your eyes are on the front of your head yeah?

Please DM me after you get done with that impala

Lmao this is my cousin, I’ve stolen his food off his plate for 2 days straight 😎

basically lawn chairs that became sentient and learned how to run

This is my favorite reply to this comment. Have an award.

We should cross breed some cheetahs with mountain lions or jaguars or something to make them less specialized inbred pussies. Give them some proper retractable claws, and up their defenses dramatically, while sacrificing a little bit of top end speed. I think it would be a fair trade.

Cheetah screwed your mother?

I really expected a heavy British accent, monocle, and a pith helmet from that killer stache lmfao

I mean is that him talking or dubbed Kanye?

The timing is excellent

Ahhh so it really is a dub over lol. I feel dumb now.. That def is Kanye after I watched that a 2nd time lmfao. You’re right that’s some incredible timing!

with those weird ass guns that have the tuba shape at the end

If this man stole my girlfriend I would just offer him a beer and tell him to have a nice day.

Preston Playz? That you?

Man this is my fave meme in a while

One twitch of his stache can stop a lion

This dud give off some big dick strength!

While this is impressive i think it's interesting to note how most cheetahs work.

They're basically big housecats, where most big cats are seriously strong and pretty mean, cheetahs are weak and fuckin pussies.

They're really fast, and that's cool, but it means that they can't have too much muscle mass so when it comes to fighting they lose to most anything. They can outrun practically any herbivore and they are able to take it down since the herbivore will be tired and not as agile but after that the cheetah is so exhausted that anything could come across and take the prey, even hyenas.

They also can't climb and are pretty damn fragile since their bones are relatively light. They also meow and purr and are the only big animal to do so.

Basically, cheetahs are definitely impressive but since all they do is run, they're not much stronger than a medium dog and you can easily throw them off. They're still sharp though so it's not like they don't do damage, they're just more handleable.

That said, I'd much rather not be attacked by one and i still have big respect to this guy, i just think it's kinda funny how cheetahs are all talk.

You say "only hyenas" as if hyenas aren't gangs of terrifying beasts that could bite through a human leg like a celery stick

Hyenas are kinda just the typical scavenger animals that tend to steal scraps from lions. They're just an example that everyone knows about and they are relatively weak compared to most savanna carnivores

Edit: I've angered the hyena fandom but they're teaching me new things so it's all good!

Edit 2: We've figured it out! My zoo always had striped hyenas which are the smaller more scavenging based hyenas. It never occured to me that there may be other types so I've always just looked at hyenas in that way.

Stop getting your facts from the Lion King. This is provably false. Hyenas are incredibly aggressive pack hunters with an 85% success rate during hunts. That's almoat double that of lions.

Hyenas actively antagonize other carnivores because they can get away with it. Hyenas are able to run 4 miles at once at a speed of 45 mph without tiring. Their bite force is over 5,000 pounds per square inch. They are literally capable of biting your leg off with a single bite.

chill. I don't really care about hyenas and just drew a quick comparison from memory.

A high succes rate during hunts doesn't necessarily change my point though, that still doesn't have to mean they hunt for all their food, just means that when they do it's successful.

From this info alone that could mean they scavange most of the time and only hunt when there's nothing to scavange and will only hunt easy prey in those situations just to get by.

I'll gladly believe you but I'd need more info.

But since i was provably wrong that shouldn't be a problem right?

Yeah these are all spotted hyenas. I already mentioned in my first comment why i thought wrong about hyenas. The zoos i go to all have striped hyenas which are significantly smaller and definitely are primarily scavangers. Another commenter helped me out with some info instead of just going "how dare you think that, that's so wrong".

I was mostly giving you some good sources of information.

Yeah true, the sass wasn't directed at you. I just really hate people who, instead of really helping, just act surprised at how little someone knows without providing any extra info. (Note how the other guy still hasn't tried to give any info)

No problem. Also, for the blog: if you search up "95%" in the blog's search bar, you should find a few articles mentioning that (just giving some helpful advice).

This is entirely untrue. Hyenas are incredible pack hunters, and they are fucking merciless when hunting.

Really? I've litterally never heard of this

Yeah they are cunning, clever creatures. They have a pretty strong pack mentality, however can ostracize a lot of their own and that's when you'll get packs of hyenas in small numbers just scavenging.

However they most certainly do pack hunting. They're so formidable though that they're quite capable of attacking another apex pack (I.e lions) once they've felled an animal that they can also eat that too.

Basically numerous times

5 Lions > Buffalo

10 Hyenas > 5 Lions

Outcome

10 Hyenas > 5 Lions = Hyenas get the Buffalo by being able to take out the Lions

The Lion King movie lied to us all.

Damn, that's super interesting. I didn't even base my comment on the lion king, i watched it once when i was like 5 and know practically nothing about it anymore. I just always sorta thought that way about hyenas and I've never learnt otherwise, thanks for teaching me something today!

Those numbers are a bit iffy. A couple of lions - especially large males - could probably drive 10 hyenas off. otherwise yeah you're right

…but they're teaching me new things so it's all good!

Props for being like this though. If more people were like this instead of defensively argumentative everyone would benefit.

Yes they're scavengers, but they're not relatively weak. They do take on big cats often. Also, they give me the friggin heeby jeebies, and freak me out.

Wiki article on Hyenas

In short: it depends on the type of hyena.

Striped hyenas are mainly scavengers but will attack and kill any animals it can overcome. Spotted hyenas on the other hand (which are, as I understand it, the largest in number and are what we tend to think of when we talk about Hyenas) may kill as many as 95% of the animals they eat. They also scavenge, but rarely.

Hyenas are known to drive off larger predators, like lions, from their kills, despite having a reputation in popular culture for being cowardly.

Added fun fact: spotted hyenas are one of the few mammals known to be able to survive a rabies infection.

Oh that might clear it up. They had striped hyenas at the zoo i always went to. Those really aren't much bigger than a big dog as far as i remember. That would also explain why i never realized that they hunt a lot even though i always read the signs.

That should explain it! Striped hyenas are smaller and like I mentioned, they are indeed primarily scavengers

Hyena

Hyenas, or hyaenas (from Ancient Greek ὕαινα, hýaina), are feliform carnivoran mammals of the family Hyaenidae . With only four extant species (each in their own genera), it is the fifth-smallest biological family in the Carnivora and one of the smallest in the class Mammalia. Despite their low diversity, hyenas are unique and vital components of most African ecosystems.

They also meow and purr and are the only big animal to do so.

They are actually not considered a big cat for this reason

I have a three legged cat thats probably 5lbs tops... and it can still fuck me up.

I'm good on fucking with a cheetah

They're basically big housecats, where most big cats are seriously strong and pretty mean, cheetahs are weak and fuckin pussies.

In the UK, they're the only "big cat" that handlers are allowed to enter an enclosure, without needing them to be tranquillised. They're not really dangerous to adults in normal circumstances.

In general, predators will do anything they can do to make their matchups as unfair as possible. They hunt young, weak, and infirm animals not because they couldn't kill a healthy adult one, but because the chance of injuries is higher and even a small injury can mean death. For example, if the predator breaks a bone, they're dead. They can't hunt, and no other animal will feed them.

This is why, as soon as the cheetah sees that they've been spotted, they abort. Suddenly, the internal calculus formed by comparing hunger to injury risk flipped because they no longer had a sneak attack. It isn't hungry enough to risk it.

They don't really run, they sprint. They have to ambush, otherwise they'll overdo it on a longer run. Very specialized hunting. They're also a historically easily domesticated species, and used for hunting by humans.

Used for hunting humans??

They're built for catching and killing food prey smaller than humans.

they also meow and purr and are the only big ~~animal~~ [cat] to do so.

Fwiw, cougars are the biggest cat to do so. I think cheetahs are second though, unless you count the Florida panther (which is really just a small cougar).

All of these are “lesser cats”. The “big cats” like lions are ones that roar instead of purring or meowing.

House cats are pretty vicious yo. They got no chill when they decide to fight. Cheetahs are just pussies.

It's that 'stache.

Must be a problem with the ladies though if it stops a pussy dead in its tracks.

At least a pussy was on it's way to him.

I was convinced that the moustache had been stuck on.

For real, thought it was Dustin from Stranger Things

Manly mustache sweat kid like smile

I don't think it was just the hand motion, but that combined with gis total lack of fear. Wild animals find that shit scary.

Initially, I read the title as, “Man stops a cheetah with face” and was like…I mustache him how he did that.

r/underratedcomment you bloody genius lol

Is a cheetah attacking you? , just say No, they can't legally hurt you without your consent.

it wasn’t the force, it was the mustache

Glad I'm not the only one who immediately thought this. Also hello fellow 2 wheeler.

Hi I’m Ryan F9 and today we’re looking at wild animals.

Any cheetah would do this they are about as brave as a normal house cat

Have you ever met a house cat? Those motherfuckers love attacking.

Yeah but even aggressive ones are very scared of humans if we make a loud noise or chase them. Mine certainly is whenever I jump on my sofa or run past him.

Cats hunt by surprise. They stalk and run down their prey by trying to get the drop on them. They don’t tend to just go straight in at a prey animal that sees them coming. Cheetahs also don’t fight for the right to breed. They avoid each other. They stay out of other males ranges and find single females. Because of that they don’t generally attack from the front unless they feel threatened and cornered. In this situation the cat could be attacking but may just be playing with their friend.

I’ve had this happen with tigers. They’ll stalk you as you walk away but then stop when you turn toward them. If they respect you that is. They’ll also jump on you head on, but it’s rarer.

Cheetah took one look at that mustache and thought any man that would go in public with that ain’t scared of anything.

(I miss you, Wash)

You gotta wonder how many jackasses were too eaten to upload this kind of video.

This is just more and more impressive every time I see it.

Cheetahs are not about that life

"I need to go home and rethink my life." – Cheetah

Top chad. Fuck this audio edit though.

Duuude- sweet lip toupee

Fun fact: Cheetahs are naturally docile animals and are known to cuddle up to people and fall asleep

Cheetah's are actually very docile...you've got to conserve your energy when catching dinner involves a 60mph sprint.

Is possible to learn this power?

I'm pretty sure I already have this with the opposite sex. Don't usually need the arm waving bit though, just the face.

That’s fucking pablo escobar, he reincarnated

The sheer force of a dashing mustache

The Cheetah Whisperer

This dude looks like Dustin from stranger things but as an adult.

We gotta get this guy hooked up with the lady that stops the angry emu

It’s all that raw masculine energy the mustache gives him

Looks like an oil tycoon in the 1800s

Cheetahs are extremely timid.

Cheetahs dont do shit. They dont roar and get punked out by vultures.

Man stops a cheetah with the force
