A survival instinct. In the beginning, only one female staff member could baby sit them. After working with Abi to earn her trust, she allows me to visit her cubs.It's important to me for everyone caring for Abi and her cubs to be trusted. Time, love and respect heals. Abi is totally good now with her caregivers coming to visit and care for them. Even volunteers are trusted as I have asked for everyone;'s help in taming the cubs for better care going forward. I intend to place Kimi (the female cub I named her) back into the breeding program and that means I need to friendly with caregivers, whether familiar folks or strangers as I my place her on loan to a qualified breeding project years from now.In this video I talk about why I am taming the cubs and how it benefits their overall care in the future. I also get permission from Abi to hold and experience the cubs which are only 5 days old! It was amazed how developed there were already and how the constantly move and exercise, nurse from mom and sleep to grow. I see a lot of instincts in both mom and the cubs expressing themselves and was simply fascinated. no one taught Abi to call to her cubs or be protective. It is a survival instinct.I show glimpses of the future for these cubs and Abi as I've asked for them to be tamed to allow everyone to care for them, place a harness on them for controlled escorts to a large closed game farm (next to the project) and practice free roaming walks off lead on this veld area with prey animals.Hope you enjoy the pleasure of seeing these cubs and sweet Abi. Much more to come.Thanks for watching!My YouTube Channel:youtube.com/channel/UC25bqOksVyD-SfdAToam-BgTwitter: twitter.com/cheetah_petterFacebook: facebook.com/The-Cheetah-Whisperer-200126363927484"Meeting Cheetah Cubs, one animal at a time," Dolph C.

How time flies. Abi is with NEW cubs (3 of them). I take Kimi for a nature reserve walk next door. Kayzer and Abi also went, but I didn't film them. This was a one on one fun trip for just us.Kimi discovers pro-biotics! Many cheetahs and predators lick and eat antelope or other prey poo. I found it quite revealing! Some cheetah projects provide Rhino patties for them to play with and chew! I want Kimi to bond with me as much as possible because eventually, I will splinter off on my own cheetah breeding and rewilding project and take Kimi, Gabriel, and the two cub boys Shango and Jengo with me. Bonding with my cheetahs is very important as they get the best care possible due to it. And remember you can STILL rewild a tamed cheetah. Many tamed cheetahs have been successfully rewilded. The location and their preparation is key, plus monitoring.Enjoy the walk!

Showing his reaction to his new young cheetah cub friends is one of the best gifts he could get. He does not typically like ANY male cheetahs and becomes quite aggressive and obsessed with it. These are Zakira's cubs from last fall. They are 8 months old now.If you remember, Zakira was Kiki's daughter and moved to a different project. I helped purchase her for Running Wild Conservation and she was so happy that her mind and body decided to become a mother! Another male cheetah RWC owns bred with her and resulted in these cubs!I worry about Gabriel. He's already beat the odds of cheetah longevity. If he can reach 16 years old, it would be beyond most expectations of any male cheetah, captive or wild. I pray he makes it beyond in good health. He is very special and especially to me.

I think everyone who cares for an animal long enough has been injured by them. I know as a small child I've been bitten by my dog, pet mice, and others. It can be on purpose or by accident. But it will most likely happen. Everyone I've ever known working with big or small cats gets injured to varying degrees. So, yes I've been injured and I show you my worst... which isn't really saying much, but it did send me to the hospital for stitches. I have not been bitten and that is on another level of aggression that is rare for cheetahs, especially of you build a bond with them and show consistent love and respect. Even among themselves, they do not bite to kill or injure among siblings, family or friends. Biting is reserved for their enemies or if someone was dumb enough to harass one to the point it must. You build a positive bond with a cheetah, your chances of getting seriously bitten by one is quite minimal. A friendly cheetah will absolutely SLAP you and that is how they correct your behavior.Thanks for watching!My YouTube Channel:youtube.com/channel/UC25bqOksVyD-SfdAToam-BgTwitter: twitter.com/cheetah_petterFacebook: facebook.com/The-Cheetah-Whisperer-200126363927484"Getting scratched by semi-retractable claws, one cheetah at a time," Dolph C.

And THANKS!Please like and share this video if you like it ;)Thanks to Running Wild Cheetah Conservation for re-introducing Gabriel's harness training so he could go on these walks in the Game Reserve next door. They have been working with Gabriel in some enrichment exercises and it has really paid off. It has allowed his life's experiences expand from outside his natural wild, large but confined enclosure.Gabe had been on walks as a cub, but when he got to an adult, he became more to handle and he walks stopped for him. He was at a different cheetah project and I didn't own him at the time so had zero influence on his life. I bought him at 5 years old, then moved him to this more natural property and cheetah project. The game reserve next door was a super bonus. The cheetahs get walks and hunting practice!I wish I had known Gabriel would not have minded the harness or I would have began walks in the veld sooner. He LOVED it! Even examining the human horse inhabitations. He would not stop walking! I followed him across the reserve, only directing him away from hazards and not going to far.I don't think he would come back on his own unless he was very hungry, or know where to go. He would need lots more walks. He enjoyed experiences the senses of this reserve habitat as it was natural for him and his species. Gabriel is very independent and rarely comes when I call except for food or a groom. He would hurt himself or get lost or injured from all the hazards there. He does not know how to hunt or what not to hunt and might try attacking something out of his league.So, I hope to continue the walks and get him used to it. I need to train him to come on command, maybe use a bowl of treats to place his harness on to return to the enclosures. For most all the other cheetahs, he harness to the reserve then let them go, and retrieve them on the way back. They may walk, play, rest, or even hunt. If probably want to place a GPS collar on my Gabriel to find him again.Thanks for watching!Intro Music: Mountain Trek - Underground Music Library - Amotz Plessner.Website: underground.sourceaudio.com/tracks?s=Mountain%20TrekMy YouTube Channel:youtube.com/channel/UC25bqOksVyD-SfdAToam-BgTwitter: twitter.com/cheetah_petterFacebook: facebook.com/The-Cheetah-Whisperer-200126363927484"Walking cheetahs In The Veld, one animal at a time," Dolph C.

Abi The Cheetah had THREE MORE CUBS! Everyone was SO shocked but elated! It was not expected as Abi was become a rescue cheetah education the public about captive but handicapped cheetahs! But several vets said she could mate and bare cubs if so desired. She DESIRED!Abi has progressed far beyond Everyone's expectations. We are so proud! She has matured so much in the past year after acquiring her for my project and moving her to this one. Her confidence rose as well as her her condition with her bad hip and mental state. She started relaxing and trusting the folks caring for her and she OPENED up to everything to include breeding! Her mind and body opened up to the prospects of becoming a mother. Conditions were right! She selected a mate, one from this cheetah breeding project who is genetically diverse and viable, and they bred twice at two different times and the 2nd time succeeded in pregnancy!The cubs are doing super! Nursing from mom from moment one. I'll be preparing future updates and posts about the cubs and mom. This video is few months old but everyone is doing SUPER!Abi is legally owned by me but the cheetah father who bred with Abi is not. From a breeders agreement, only the female cub will be owned by me while the male is owned by the fathers owner. Both cubs will be FULLY raised to adulthood by Abi. As a first time mother, she is doing VERY well. SO protective all sudden and calling to them and nursing. She LOVES them. It's best to have mom cheetah raise their cubs because no one can substitute mothers milk. It has all the special nutrient inside to include antibodies, growth hormones and fats. So important!I was amazed how Abi's hormones and instincts kick in for her new cubs. I mention no one taught Abi what to do from displaying while in heat, breeding, rolling, eating , more, then giving birth, nursing, calling, licking, and protecting her cubs. Since she trusts certain people (now even more people) she and her cubs get the best nurturing care possible and why I mention I am a HUGE fan of captive interactive care. It just means better success and better overall care for the animal. Just look and observe here and in the future.Thanks for watching!My YouTube Channel:youtube.com/channel/UC25bqOksVyD-SfdAToam-BgTwitter: twitter.com/cheetah_petterFacebook: facebook.com/The-Cheetah-Whisperer-200126363927484"Protecting the joints of cheetahs, one animal at a time," Dolph C.

I want them humanized and asking RWC to tame them, like Kimi who is approachable and easy to work with. I explain a little about rewilding tame and wild captive cheetahs, but basically you can both.

I acquired her as a rescue cheetah and ambassador for her kind at my future cheetah breeding and rewilding project. I didn't expect her to want or even be able to bear cubs. The vet said she could, even though she has a large part of her hip bone removed due to an inury during birth. What a pleasant surprise when I heard she went into heat at Running Wild Conservation where they care for her and Gabriel... and now Kimi! She did so well at the new project that she became a mother of 2 wonderful healthy cubs, Kimi and Kayzer. Now that the cubs are almost adult, 2 years old, Abi wanted to leave them... She no longer enjoyed their company and it is very natural. She went into heat and started the life cycle all over again. She selected her old mate, Skyler again and now Abi is pregnant again and possibly with more than 2 cubs! Look at the end picture of her TUMMY!I hope to have more pics and video of the cubs, but unfortunately I cannot be there for the event. I have a career outside of my cheetahs that prevents me from spending my time I want with them. I hope to end my career (which pays for the cheetahs) in a couple of years... I pray.This video scoots through the 8 years I've known Abi and the cubs growing up FAST! They are doing well and Kimi had her own kill recently of an impala female and shared it with her mom and brother. I plan on Kimi being a breeder for my project and future cubs will all be considered for release... into the wild.Thanks for watching!My YouTube Channel:youtube.com/channel/UC25bqOksVyD-SfdAToam-BgTwitter: twitter.com/cheetah_petterFacebook: facebook.com/The-Cheetah-Whisperer-200126363927484"Providing means for endangered species to procreate, one animal at a time," Dolph C.

Typically, coalition brothers assist with grooming, or they rub it off by rolling on the ground, rubbing against trees and branches, or it sheds off over the months. I wanted to assist by trying a cat and dog over the counter pet shop rubberized brush. It worked and Gabriel actually LOVED it.Most encounters I have with Gabriel, and I'm either laying down or he lies near me, it ends up in a play fight. It's scary for me because we don't do it often. The growls, rough action, play biting and claws are intimidating. I got a dew claw in my hand on this one, but only a scratch. It's expected when being this close to the predators you care for. I just hope Gabriel's friendship and affinity for me prevents him ever escalating to a point where he would purposely injure me. It's why I always end it sooner than he wants... like this time. So far, so good. But I realize there is always that chance, and I accept the risk to make the animals in my care happy.

Even when he's mad about you, he still purrs but sulks and won't allow any close contact with him. Guess his way of training humans that cannot read his mind, but can read his behavior.It's happened before. Gabriel got mad at me for touching his underbelly one time years ago. He snapped at my face and would not come to me or groom for 2 days. I'm just glad Gabriel and cheetahs are NOT like tigers or wolves, who will hold that grudge for a lifetime. Even forgetting why they hate you in the 1st place. There are probably ways to mend that, but would be a HUGE risk with a tiger. You could die.Anyway, spoiler alert! Gabriel DID forgive me, but it took 2 full days... :) So glad we are back to being friends again. I had to do some close health checks on him and broke some interaction protocols to do it.

I removed and replaced the music with another free one, so I re-upload this video with some free music. ***Spent some quality time with the African Wild Cat at Cheetah Experience in South Africa when volunteering. I was petting one of the yearling female when she started to knead onto a giant stuffed teddy bear. Kneading is a cub/kitten behavior that all cats do to help stimulate milk production from the mother. It serves to get the milk to flow better through her teats. It's like when we squeeze the air out of an air mattress to get all of it out we can. They do this normally when kittens, but if they are removed from their mother, the behavior can extend into adulthood. Many of a domesticated cat does this and is why. Wild ones are no different.Once she was finished kneading, she laid down on top of her surrogate mother stuffed teddy bear and went to sleep... Comforted and content. Thought it was awfully cute, so decided to share it with you.People may wonder why these kittens were taken from their mother. I do not know the answer, but usually when projects get animals that are NOT endangered, some other circumstance has occurred and these projects offer up a home for them. I think these were bred by some breeder that didn't want them. CE did NOT breed these Wild Cats.Thanks for watching!My YouTube Channel:youtube.com/channel/UC25bqOksVyD-SfdAToam-BgTwitter: twitter.com/cheetah_petterFacebook: facebook.com/The-Cheetah-Whisperer-200126363927484"Watching some kneading, one animal at a time," Dolph C.

I have the privilege of knowing Gabriel and enriching his life, while he enriches mine throughout his life. He's still in great shape and condition at 10 years. I pray for another healthy 10 more.I've known Gabriel for 10 years, and what a blessing and challenge it's been being his friend. He chose me long ago for friendship as a cub and never forgot. We've both had to learn each other's tolerances. I have more of course and just happy to be his friend, so I had to learn what he likes and dislikes. It's difficult as we don't share the same language, not even body ones, but I've learned.I show some of the quirks about Gabriel and how he communicates them to me. I need to become a better observer of behavior to understand him. Species all have similar behaviors, like whining, growling, position of body parts, like ears, tail, shoulders and such, but every individual in is unique in how they personalize their common behaviors. Gabriel is no different.From the paws in my face to Gabriel's love of the Play Fight, I've learned what mostly makes him tick. It has helped me bond with him, and he shows the appreciation in his loving grooming, purring response to me. When he's REALLY happy with our relationship... he does this HUGE RUB I really like.

It's added risk, but overall safer when something goes wrong (an opened gate for instance). It is far less likely that something bad happens when the animals in your care are calm around people; especially when feeding.It's best to start young in hand feeding, but Abi show that old cats can learn to be nice too. Hand feeding earns trust from the animals that allow it. Hunger is one of the top three instincts where an animal will become violent protecting it. When you earn that trust, it helps overall with that relationship with that animal. Thus I hand feed. There will be others who care for my animals and with them calmer around feeding, it help s in the overall temperament of these predators who meet new people. They learn that most all folks are not after their food and can be trusted. THEN you can progress to things like checking on health.I don't hand fed all the time, but enough that it reinforces the trust between us and others. With a predator allowing hand feeding, you can also make SURE they take required or needed meds and supplements. Then you can progress to enrichment things like I did at the end of this video where I test whether my cheetahs will eat a hard boiled egg! They eat chicken... so why not an Egg?Thanks for watching!My YouTube Channel:youtube.com/channel/UC25bqOksVyD-SfdAToam-BgTwitter: twitter.com/cheetah_petterFacebook: facebook.com/The-Cheetah-Whisperer-200126363927484"Hand feeding an egg to my cheetahs, one animal at a time," Dolph C.

They are 1.5 years old now. Growing and maturing. Last time they hunted down a Blesbok. This visit they got to relax. Kimi is doing better than expected. Her personality and temperament is what I was hoping for. Kayzer is more of a boy maturing... Abi is great too and they STILL live together.I suspect Abi will want to separate from her cubs within the next 6 months as that is when female cheetahs have completed their duties of raising their cubs (2 years). She may want to breed again and that's when she will want her own camp, away from her cubs. Kimi will have similar desires in the near future. It;s my plan for Kimi... when she decides and why I want her so calm around people and strangers. One day she may visit a cheetah project to breed and when fearful of new things and people, that does not work well in breeding. Remember I don't own Kayzer so his future will be decided by Running Wild Conservation.Thanks for watching!My YouTube Channel:youtube.com/channel/UC25bqOksVyD-SfdAToam-BgTwitter: twitter.com/cheetah_petterFacebook: facebook.com/The-Cheetah-Whisperer-200126363927484"Taking cheetah cubs to the vet, one animal at a time," Dolph C.

It was really cute when I laid down with them, they all gathered on top and then started the chattering calls to a bird that flew by.These Wild cat kittens are grown now and lost the collars (for identifying them as they all looked exactly alike). They are probably hybrids of house and Wild cat and not pure breds. This was an old video I though would be great chopped up into a SHORT for folks liking to hear just the chattering sound.Main consensus is the chattering is a mimicry to help them get closer to their prey but some think it might be a instinctive feeling of longing after their prey and simply a stimulus response of wanting what they can't get at the moment. I like the mimicry idea as other cats mimic bird calls to catch birds.Thanks for watching!

As a young inexperienced cubs, at about 6 months old, you can get lost out there in this BIG BIG world easily. Abi wanted out of the direct sun and waltzed over to lay down in the shade of a tree not far away. The cubs didn't notice her leaving and felt a terrible sense of loss when they realized she Mom was gone...Cheetahs chirp like birds to call to each other. Adults and cubs alike. The current accepted theory is they do this to confuse larger predators that would kill them. A large lion, hyena or leopard is not going to waste time looking to hunt a small bird and so ignores the sound the cheetahs make. But, predators are smart and it they ever learn that sound is a cheetah, then their cover is blown. Time to use that superior speed to avoid capture and death. Cheetah cubs that reach 6 months old can our run any predator or prey that would kill them.This was recorded at www.runningwildconservation.org. I've asked for a video biography of my cubs as I cannot be there very often and and they graciously record the moments I miss and thank them for it.Thanks for watching!My YouTube Channel:youtube.com/channel/UC25bqOksVyD-SfdAToam-BgTwitter: twitter.com/cheetah_petterFacebook: facebook.com/The-Cheetah-Whisperer-200126363927484"Helping Lost Cheetah Cubs, one animal at a time," Dolph C.

Be sure to turn on your NOTIFICATIONS in your YouTube account and Click The Bell to get an email from me when I post new videos!This hunt was conducted by captive and bred cheetahs at Running Wild Cheetah Conservation which much of the video comes from. If you want to learn more about their program for rewilding endangered cheetahs, please visit www.runningwildconservation.org. My cheetahs, Gabriel, Abi and 1yr old Kimi are cared for there. This was Kimi's & Kayzer's 1st hunt.With Abi's cubs growing into subadults, it was time to un-harness them onto the neighboring Wildlife Reserve and train them to hunt for with another female cheetah. All in preparation for a potential release one day (or their cubs). The cubs have been on enrichment walks many times to prepare them and get experience. 'Aunti Kiara' (not related to the cubs) is a cheetah with the best hunting success and skills. She LOVES the cubs and allows them to join her on a hunt. Better yet she and Abi tolerate each other so the interaction can happen.I was AMAZED how natural it was for the cubs to chase and hunt down a Blosbok the Aunti Kiara caught. It was the cubs (10 months old) first direct encounter with a live prey. They have been watching Kiara on previous hunts, but this is the first time they were allowed to assist Kiara.I show the start, middle and beginning of this hunt with some graphic content, but that is the nature of the balance between predator and prey and I want to show reality. I always wanted to show the total nature of cheetahs from the personal up close to their survival techniques which include hunting and killing. These predators adapted as meat eaters and cannot survive off anything else.At the end of the video, I provide a BONUS footage of me sharing the blesbok with Gabriel, so he can benefit from the good nutrition as well. Gabriel cannot hunt due to never doing it, bad spinal growth, smaller, and shorter tail. So we share in the meal together.Please like and share this video if you like it ;)CHAPTERS:0:00 Aunti Kiara Trains Cubs To Hunt!2:46 The HUNT Begins!4:05 Kayzer & Kimi Join The Hunt!06:58 Kiara Loses Blosbok - Cubs Take Over Hunt!07:22 KAYZER Rides Back Of Blesbok!07:36 Both Cubs Struggle To Kill Blesbok!08:20 Kayzer Gets Death Grip!09:40 Hunt Ends - Blesbok Humanely Euthanized (no show)!09:53 Kayzer Tries Burring Blesbok!10:08 My Thoughts About Cubs 1st Hunt!10:46 Conclusion - Drag Blesbok To Some Shade!12:06 BONUS VIDEO - Sharing Blesbok With Gabriel.Thanks for watching!My YouTube Channel:youtube.com/channel/UC25bqOksVyD-SfdAToam-BgTwitter: twitter.com/cheetah_petterFacebook: facebook.com/The-Cheetah-Whisperer-200126363927484"Training cheetahs for release, one animal at a time," Dolph C.

I setup a camera to capture feeding Gabriel 6lbs or 4kilos of chicken as an ASMR relaxing observation of a cheetah peacefully eating. He tries to take the chicken out of his feeding pen but that is not good for him. He takes it to the grass and dirt and gets all kinds of dangerous debris in his stomach and intestines, not good. So he must eat larger piece of food in his pen. Thus me closing it. He growls, thinking I'm taking his meal. Never.I toss in a couple slow modes and fast forwards in there for time sake and interesting motion.What amazes me is that all this food ends up in white broken down bone and tiny amount of poo! His body uses most all of this food to maintain his body. All cheetahs are like this.

I looked under a bunch of rocks until I found one that had a burrowing scorpion under it. Pablo, one of the meerkats, waltz over and smelled it! Hiding inside its burrow. He worked his legs and claws and extracted it with precision! Nicely, I was there recording it to watch this natural event take place.Meerkats are omnivorous, meaning they eat both plant and animal. Grubs, insects, fruits, scorpions and even snakes are on the menu of meerkats. Amazingly, meerkats have some immunity to regional snakes and scorpions. It's an adaptation like their cousins, the mongoose which also have immunity to certain snakes and scorpions.Meerkats are quite cute and smart but I emphasize how they are NOT pets and don't make good pets. Wild animals should be personal pets for folks. Rescues, rehabilitating ones for release, in a sanctuary because they can't be released (like found on a farm alone or parents killed) and certain quality zoos are the places where I agree a meerkat or wild animal could be housed and cared for. Pablo and Zulu are rescue meerkats that someone found alone and needed a home or would die. Running Wild Conservation brought them in and care for them.Thanks for watching!My YouTube Channel:youtube.com/channel/UC25bqOksVyD-SfdAToam-BgTwitter: twitter.com/cheetah_petterFacebook: facebook.com/The-Cheetah-Whisperer-200126363927484"Watching meerkats kill and eat a scorpion 'live', one animal at a time," Dolph C.

This hissing behavior is not really being angry, but defensive. When a cheetah sees something it is either surprised by, something unfamiliar, or does not like and these things breeches a comfortable proximity, cheetahs will 'HISS" at it to scare it away or just keep hissing by the annoyance of 'said' object. House cats do this as well.Thanks for watching!My YouTube Channel:youtube.com/channel/UC25bqOksVyD-SfdAToam-BgTwitter: twitter.com/cheetah_petterFacebook: facebook.com/The-Cheetah-Whisperer-200126363927484"Getting Hissed In The Face By A Cheetah, one animal at a time," Dolph C.

In this order it is Females, Food then Friends. Gabriel is a non releasable breeder at this Cheetah Breeding Center called Running Wild Conservation. Abi and her two cubs Kimi and Kayzer are there as well. I show how cubs are easily entertained but adults are much harder. They all seem to enjoy chasing things, but Gabriel is limited in that respect. I can get him to chase me or he sometimes chases other cheetahs along the fence.I build a LARGE cheetah box to see if cheetahs enjoy boxes. Abi and Gabriel had zero interest in it. I try hard to enrich the lives of my captive cheetahs and go all out. The key is finding what stimulates them and positively and safely work around those things.Ultimately, I have to admit it is ME that enriches Gabriel's life the most as he explains over and over after I bring his something to enrich is life, he always turns back to me. Grooming his friend is one of his top pleasurable experiences Gabriel enjoys. He'll roll his eyes back while doing it. So that is what we do most together. He likes play fighting too and I allow that limitedly because I don't want to get injured.Thanks for watching!My YouTube Channel:youtube.com/channel/UC25bqOksVyD-SfdAToam-BgTwitter: twitter.com/cheetah_petterFacebook: facebook.com/The-Cheetah-Whisperer-200126363927484"Protecting the joints of cheetahs, one animal at a time," Dolph C.

To feed these cheetahs by hand makes them trust you more and reduces aggression. The cubs show aggression towards each other but not YOU! That is safer and it helps when giving medicines to make sure they eat it.From wart hog, zebra, antelope, pigeon, to a MOUSE! we give the cubs a variety of foods they might be exposed to in nature if they are to be released in the wild. The hide, bone, tissue, cartilage is all very good for them in their development as they grow. My plans are to have Kimi become a breeder but if she produces cubs for the project, I may release her one day to bare cubs on her own. Kayzer is not my cub so I don't know the planed for him and only time will tell but the owners have the best intentions and will either be a breeder or released for sure. Taking the cubs out into the open game reserve that resides next to the project, is essential training for them.I hope to show some live hunts with the cubs but Abi cannot participate due to her bad hip. Another female cheetah that likes the cubs will be the training hunter.My cheetahs are being housed and cared for at www.runningwildconservation.org They have a wonderful and respectful volunteer program where you can even escort the cubs and Abi mom on the game reserve!

He really loves the visits and I show his behavior before, during, and after our encounters. Cheetahs roll around on their backs for various reasons. Gabriel rolls and rubs the ground when I approach him. It is his way of telling me he is very happy to see me. He often rolls around and then looks to see if I am watching. Once that is done, he typically gets up for a physical interactive visit with me.So, I filmed some clips of us during my visits on the ground in mostly selfie view to show what he does. Our encounter and his behaviors are quite predictable and how I can predict what he'll do. It normally begins is affectionate purring and grooming and ends with a cat play fight session. He loves to play fight and practice his predatory skills on my arm and hands. It is actually a bit scary for me as I only get to visit Gabriel twice a year due to a career that supports my project. But, he loves it so much that I accept the risks and allow the play bite sessions. I think in the end, it strengthens our bonds rather than risks it. No on one else in the Universe enriches Gabriel as I can and why we are such good friends. He is alone in that wild camp and cannot have many visits from others as Gabriel has a history of some naughtyness and slapping so off limits except minor encounters. He is very dominant and can express that dominance on people and other cheetahs and why. I love him so take all the risks for him to enrich his life when I can.Thanks for watching!

This tree is a centralized communication signaling post of all the cheetahs that get to visit the passageway where all the other cheetah camps are connected. The cheetahs get some free time to relax and visit the cheetahs between the fence in other camps. This tree is marked by other male cheetahs that get free time in the common passageway.My post is a an anthropomorphic snide about us, and thought it was cute to be wrong why Gabriel was smiling about a tree It's called the flehmen response, like horses and lions do. Cheetahs have a Jacobson's organ in their upper palate that collects tiny particles that helps identify the smell. The urine on the tree lasts for months and soaks in to the bark and why Gabriel is giving the phlegmon response to the stinks he smells on it. It allows him to detect other males that had used the tree and then mark it himself.Thanks for watching! #shorts My YouTube Channel:youtube.com/channel/UC25bqOksVyD-SfdAToam-BgTwitter: twitter.com/cheetah_petterFacebook: facebook.com/The-Cheetah-Whisperer-200126363927484"Flehmening, one animal at a time," Dolph C.

A cheetah cub from Abi who is a handicapped captive cheetah at a registered breeding project. I pulled this from an earlier video to focus on the MAIN subject matter of the longer video. Abi The Cheetah gave birth to two cheetah cubs.

Abi The Cheetah had TWO CUBS! Everyone was SO shocked but elated! It was not expected as Abi was become a rescue cheetah education the public about captive but handicapped cheetahs! But several vets said she could mate and bare cubs if so desired. She DESIRED!Abi has progressed far beyond Everyone's expectations. We are so proud! She has matured so much in the past year after acquiring her for my project and moving her to this one. Her confidence rose as well as her her condition with her bad hip and mental state. She started relaxing and trusting the folks caring for her and she OPENED up to everything to include breeding! Her mind and body opened up to the prospects of becoming a mother. Conditions were right! She selected a mate, one from this cheetah breeding project who is genetically diverse and viable, and they bred twice at two different times and the 2nd time succeeded in pregnancy!The cubs are doing super! Nursing from mom from moment one. I'll be preparing future updates and posts about the cubs and mom. This video is few months old but everyone is doing SUPER!Abi is legally owned by me but the cheetah father who bred with Abi is not. From a breeders agreement, only the female cub will be owned by me while the male is owned by the fathers owner. Both cubs will be FULLY raised to adulthood by Abi. As a first time mother, she is doing VERY well. SO protective all sudden and calling to them and nursing. She LOVES them. It's best to have mom cheetah raise their cubs because no one can substitute mothers milk. It has all the special nutrient inside to include antibodies, growth hormones and fats. So important!I was amazed how Abi's hormones and instincts kick in for her new cubs. I mention no one taught Abi what to do from displaying while in heat, breeding, rolling, eating , more, then giving birth, nursing, calling, licking, and protecting her cubs. Since she trusts certain people (now even more people) she and her cubs get the best nurturing care possible and why I mention I am a HUGE fan of captive interactive care. It just means better success and better overall care for the animal.

Almost sounds almost like a bunch of killer bees. Thought this was interesting and a nice way to test out my new RODE remote microphone. I had been using it to record Gabriel and Abi and myself.This is at a burn pit. One designed for animal waste, carcasses and human food. In South Africa, these remote Game Range projects don't have municipal public garbage collections so they have these burn pits. Typically one for solid waste, like paper and such and one for animal ones when you have a predator project like this. You can't always burn every day due to weather and bannings, so there tends to be an accumulation at times that attracts millions of flies and other scavengers. You can't always bury it right away as well. The pit needs to fill up as needed so you don't have too many of them. Anyway, that is why these millions of flies are around and so LISTEN!

And THANKS!Please like and share this video if you like it ;)Enjoy Gabriel's antics over females, food, and his friend.I show examples of the priorities in life for male Cheetahs in captivity and probably the wild as well. Gabriel demonstrates how important the instinctive drive to reproduce is and how it's important to saving his species. The instinct of hunger is next in line of priorities and THEN friendship.It's funny but interesting how life is. In there somewhere in between is also aggression, which is used to sustain personal survival, such as food aggression, defending territory (for wild cheetahs) and fighting off other predators to include other coalition of cheetahs. Many male and female cheetahs decide to fight for various reasons in captivity, but limited to protect them. Some aggression promotes the breeding response, like coalition of males slapping each other over a female the both like. Fence aggression is a real thing for captive cheetahs and controlled. Males could decide to kill each other if given the chance.But in a captive breeding program like this one, problems are mitigated and controlled. Not so in a wild environment where many a cheetah dies to predation, injury, and sickness. Noit many cheetahs reach adulthood and far less die of old age.Gabriel is so funny ditching me for females and food. But I am so glad he has enough room in his heart and mind to find a friend in me. THAT is my reward for giving loving care for him and all my cheetahs; past, present and the future.Thanks for watching!My YouTube Channel:youtube.com/channel/UC25bqOksVyD-SfdAToam-BgTwitter: twitter.com/cheetah_petterFacebook: facebook.com/The-Cheetah-Whisperer-200126363927484"Being Last Place Friend, one animal at a time," Dolph C.

Abi (her nickname), was one of five cubs born to her mom Abby, who was a super nice friendly loving cheetah mom. Abigale was caught in the birth cannel and an emergency C-Section surgery was required to save the cubs and Abby. All cubs and mom were saved but Abi suffered irreparable damage to her back right hip. When she was old enough, surgery was required to correct it so she could walk and run again. It was a success, but it meant Abi could never be released so she stayed with her sister until last year 2021 when I went through the process of legally adding her to my project with Gabriel.Well, fast forward and when I moved Gabriel to this new project, I brought Abigale with me and she has matured SO much that I cannot believe it. She was in the shadows of her sister and it is natural for a female cheetah to live isolated lives in the wild. Joyce and Abi are doing well. Abi has excelled in the months she has been at the new project. She has become brave, bold, confident and I have worked on both her fear of men and food aggression. She has huge wild camps to live in and share with a surrogate sister named Hunter. The results of her enrichment walks, improved confidence, good wild game nutrition, patience and love, she has shown signs of wanting to breed! I was satisfied with having Sweat Abi as a rescue animal to show the female side of cheetahs, but she wants more out of life! It means we are doing the right things that Abi's mind, body and sole have come to the conclusion that motherhood is a possibility too.I consulted three different wildlife vets for their onion about Abi getting pregnant and any health and safety concerns for Abi's welfare. They all said she could easily bare cubs and would not be a problem and it it was, they could be ready with a C-Section surgery to help. I thought it would be worth the risk and allowed Abi to nurture her drive to breed. What comes next is fully up to Abi.It would be a wonderful contribute to cheetah species and the world if she did. They would not be my cubs to Abi's and the worlds; adding to the endangered numbers of cheetahs in our world. Depending on the number and gender of the cubs, my plan has always been to divide them between breeders back in the program and/or designate for release. We shall wait and see. It would be a wonderful dream come true for me.Thanks for watching!My YouTube Channel:youtube.com/channel/UC25bqOksVyD-SfdAToam-BgTwitter: twitter.com/cheetah_petterFacebook: facebook.com/The-Cheetah-Whisperer-200126363927484"Rescuing Cheetahs, one animal at a time," Dolph C.

And THANKS!Please like and share this video if you like it ;)I've left Gabriel to express his behaviors naturally and only trained him to come when called and learn his name. I wanted him to to natural as possible as a captive breeding cheetah. But, I was charmed by his 'rubbning' behavior, like a house cat. So, I started to re-enforce the behavior to help our bonding and eventual training for future basic health care, like examining his paws. Gabriel would rub between the fence all the time and so I wanted to see if he could be encourage and trained to rub face-to-face. I had some success and here it is! in 4K in most clips.Eventually, I want all my animals to allow basic healthcare examination. It can be done quite easily with some basic operant conditioning, where the animal chooses to do a behavior you want. Some examples of the things I wish to train my animals in my care is to allow me to examine their bodies, to include inside their mouths, between their toes, in their ears, and accept needle injections so I can administer medication, give vaccinations, and draw blood WITHOUT sedation. Sedation drugs are very dangerous and damaging to cheetahs or any animal. Bad reactions can occur and lasting damage to their immune systems and kidneys. I don't like it and will do everything in my power to avoid sedations.Gabriel and I only get about 6 weeks a year to re-acquaint. I don't have the best trust and relationship I need with him to train and get the results I wanted to train him for simple medical examinations. I hope to change that for future cheetahs and animals I have, but it requires me to have my project in order, which I do not... yet.

Just a warming.My Jean Shepard reference and my impersonation is from where the movie A Christmas Story, where Ralphie's brother Randy was a kid that wouldn't eat. What a great movie that was. Gabriel can be like Randy and not eating and needs encouragement like Randy's mother gave him.Getting captive wild cheetahs to eat varied quality meats is not always easy. Lions and leopards don't have that problem. I share a newly introduced ostrich meat to Gabriel to get him used to varied wild game meat. It helps to grant better care for these captive animals when they eat varied wild meats. It also helps identify if they are sick, when they won't eat certain favorite foods. Some cheetahs are extremely finicky and would rather STARVE! than eat some meats. Quite amazing to me.I have fun introducing ostrich to Gabriel. Sometimes a bird comes in on donation that has perished on a farm. May cheetahs will eat ostrich but Gabriel had never experienced it before. I show him a wing with feathers and then buy a local ostrich filet and share it with him DIRECTLY! I cook my ostrich but Gabriel decided he wanted my cooked on and his raw.My cooked ostrich was cooked special without any flavoring in case Gabriel eat mine, which he did! Spices are not natural and the reason I cooked it without any. It could possibly harm his intestinal system or give him diarrhea.Thanks for watching!My YouTube Channel:youtube.com/channel/UC25bqOksVyD-SfdAToam-BgTwitter: twitter.com/cheetah_petterFacebook: facebook.com/The-Cheetah-Whisperer-200126363927484"Sharing a meal with an endangered species , one animal at a time," Dolph C.

And THANKS!Please like and share this video if you like it ;)From some older clips and a few new, I finalize my turning back to cheetahs to demonstrate the nature of ambush, stalking and difference between leopards, cheetahs and cubs. Ambushing is a survival trait for the BIGGER cats like leopards, tigers, jaguars and to some degree lions but not so much for cheetahs. It is because cheetahs are adapted/designed to RUN... and so fast they don't need to ambush and need open area to run 60mph to outrun their prey.I also address folks who think these cheetahs would attack or ambush me turning my back if they were wild. I show a two wild cheetah and how they are nervous and avoid contact rather than engage. Cheetahs are skittish and non aggressive by nature and helps them survive in a wild where the top three predators kill them. Cheetahs cannot fight well due to their design to run. Tall bodies, less muscle, can't grapple well, can't bite hard, less endurance and many other factors. Both the leopards and cheetahs I show here (except the semi-wild cheetah cubs) are tamed and a leopard will pounce on you for play and food. In this case, tamed leopards are all playing when they practice ambushing me.As for these cheetah cubs and leopards, they are not owned by me and had the privilege of encountering and studying them but they all were sent off to other project destinations shortly after this video. Only Gabriel is legally owned by me but I don't "own" him, I am his friend. Gabriel moved to another cheetah breeding and release project where I am trying to get him to become a breeder along with a female I own. I plan on talking about Abigale in the near future!Thanks for watching!My YouTube Channel:youtube.com/channel/UC25bqOksVyD-SfdAToam-BgTwitter: twitter.com/cheetah_petterFacebook: facebook.com/The-Cheetah-Whisperer-200126363927484"Turning my back to cheetahs and cubs, one animal at a time," Dolph C.

Flattening lookout mounds and removing killer bees from their water ponds. This and many things are considered to help these cheetahs live in a natural environment as possible for their comfort. Stress, nutrition, clean water, large wild spaces and enrichment are all critical for a happy life for a captive cheetah and to stimulate the breeding instinct. For the 1st time I've known Gabriel, he is calling to a female; asking to mate. He never did that until moving to this new project and location. Things have improved for Gabriel and I could not be happier for him.I have another female cheetah I have not introduced yet but will in the future. She is also going into 'heat' for the 1st time in her life since moving to this project. The new sites, sounds, smells, new cheetahs and stimulation has inspired her to become a mother. She is trying and shows me that things are in place that allows a cheetah to breed. I try and make these cheetahs lives as close to wild as possible yet believe in interaction to relieve stresses. But always allow them to chose to visit or not.Enrichment walks, good wild foods, clean water, exercise, LARGE wild enclosures and lower stress promotes a healthy life which their biological clocks start ticking and they begin to breed. Captive cheetah breeding has been labeled difficult but I've seen quality cared for cheetahs go into heat and want to breed and produce cubs. I'll keep improving the entire process as I learn more about cheetah animal husbandry.Thanks for watching!My YouTube Channel:youtube.com/channel/UC25bqOksVyD-SfdAToam-BgTwitter: twitter.com/cheetah_petterFacebook: facebook.com/The-Cheetah-Whisperer-200126363927484"Flattening mounds & killer bees to help cheetahs breed, one animal at a time," Dolph C.

They are not as aggressive as the Japanese hornets or attack bee hives like they do and more nectar collectors but do bring home the meat bacon on occasion too as I show SOMETHING all balled up in a mush in the mandibles of one of the hornets.This was an experiment of the #Shorts but have to admit, not a fan. I like telling the bigger story and can't do that in just 60 seconds. The other thing very annoying about YouTube Shorts is that fact you cannot select your own customized thumbnail. Both posts placed a horrible thumbnail of my face. YouTube needs to fix this. I will post more #Shorts later but will make sure I have a pic in there to trick the algorithm to select my thumbnail I want and be something truly Short and worth it. You also don't get much in AdSense revenue using #Shorts, I noticed.As for the Japanese murder hornets, they do seem to target honey bees and more aggressive. Still, would not suggest people PET any hornets. It is my way but I take calculated risks and accept the consequences of my decisions. It could be these hornets have not gotten the pheromonal signal to defend and attack their hive... the tiny larvae were no where near metamorphizing, so maybe that is why they did not attack me. They may be aggressive when the larvae are about to hatch! My guess. Or maybe European hornets are JUST that nice and like petting.Thanks for watching!My YouTube Channel:youtube.com/channel/UC25bqOksVyD-SfdAToam-BgTwitter: twitter.com/cheetah_petterFacebook: facebook.com/The-Cheetah-Whisperer-200126363927484"Petting European murder hornets, one insect at a time," Dolph C.

I discovered they are not very aggressive but are defensive... some of them and BITE rather than sting for defense! Amazing! It is because they are so HUGE they are more powerful than most of their prey insects they tackle, so no need to waste energy on venom from the stings. They tear apart their victims with their strong mandibles. They also use the mandibles to carve up certain trees they like the sap from, drinking it up.Next time I try and PET some European Murder Wasps... which should not be shocking to those who know me. I break the barriers of animal behavior and the best why I know to study and learn from them is direct contact. Filming from a distance only gives one side of the lives of animals and has its place as well.Thanks for watching! #ShortsMy YouTube Channel:youtube.com/channel/UC25bqOksVyD-SfdAToam-BgTwitter: twitter.com/cheetah_petterFacebook: facebook.com/The-Cheetah-Whisperer-200126363927484"Playing with danger, one insect at a time," Dolph C.

And THANKS!Please like and share this video if you like it ;)Welp, my 1st #shorts video to go with the flow. This is the first part of a small series of my encounters with a really cool nest of European Murder Hornets near my home. I get as close as possible to determine their nature and behavior, as is my way with life. It helps me better understand the living and how best to live with them.I get close to these hornets. The next couple of shorts I get CLOSER and try petting them; the kind of thing I do if you have not noticed. I needed to know how murderous these insects really are. Love to observe behavior and interact. It helps me determine how dangerous things are. I may publish a LONG 10min Murder Hornet activity ASMR of them placing the finishing touches on their hive on my other YT channel. Not really for this channel where i supposed to be the Cheetah Whisperer! But I LOVE insects too, so this is me.Thanks for watching!My YouTube Channel:youtube.com/channel/UC25bqOksVyD-SfdAToam-BgTwitter: twitter.com/cheetah_petterFacebook: facebook.com/The-Cheetah-Whisperer-200126363927484"Playing with danger, one insect at a time," Dolph C.
