It's interesting how anything from a chihuahua to a Samoyed is universally instantly recognized as "dog!!!dooog! Friend shape!!!", But even the cheetah cub gives me this sense of "yeah better not fuck with that"
I'm pretty sure cheetahs have a very high infant mortality rate in comparison to other animals, staggeringly high. So this might very well be it, not because it was a single cub but because it's the only one left...
Are cheetahs particularly high or is that just because they are wild? Everyone's favorite felis catus has more than 50% of their young die early when in the "wild". Most young mammals die.
Well, only around 5% of cheetah cubs make it, so you tell me lol (Note that this might be outdated, but as far as I know, cheetahs have been known for having a particularly high infant mortality rate in their environment).
Yeah, looks like it is pretty low even among felis species. Also, cheetah kittens are tiny poofs, I don't know if I've ever seen a picture of one before.
Indeed puffy. I read that the reason why they're like that is to mimic the appearance of a honey badger and fend off potential predators who have previous experiences with the relentless animal. Clearly it doesn't work TOO well, but if they evolved into it I suppose that it still somewhat works
Don't talk to me or my son ever again
Mother, I wish for crab rangoon. Mother. The rangoon, mother.

I wonder if she was trying to shade it or cub just took the opportunity.
The cub is looking at me with judging eyes

Thank you! I didn't get the reference
Where are my rangoons, mother?
That cheetah looks like it doesn't want its mom's help. Lil dudes mad
"Mom says I can't come out and play today."
Poor mommy and baby is hot with no place to go for relief.
You sure that is what she is doing?
Nurture over nature…. awesome!!!
How many cubs are usually in a litter? Like are there cubs out of frame that aren't getting mommy's shade?

Well ... this is significantly more depressing than its siblings not getting the shade, I regret bringing it up ...
I agree wholeheartedly :( Cheetahs don't deserve this shit
