@Tepid_Tapir @bartholin cheetahs can't roar but they can purr. This is why cheetahs aren't considered big cats. As you'd imagine this has the effect of making them prefer to choose flight over fight. This is why they're one of the most popular large cats kept as pets. It's a lot easier to tame a cheetah and a cheetah poses a significantly lesser risk than other large cats. Cheetahs could also probably be domesticated pretty easily.

@Tepid_Tapir @sjw @bartholin Fun fact: when they're in capitivity they need to have other animals to help with their "anxiety" because the fuckers are so damn alert ALL THE TIME (they have to be, in the wild)

@benzene @bartholin @Tepid_Tapir they usually use dogs. It's not uncommon to see a dog in a cheetah exhibit.

@benzene @Tepid_Tapir @bartholin the dog isn't in any danger. They're best friends.
