OH OF COURSE IT WAS HIM
This is true! The zoo where I volunteer (the illustrious Columbus Zoo & Aquarium) was one of the pioneers of this program.
Our zoo is known for raising cheetah cubs. Cheetahs have a terrible infant mortality rate and cubs are often rejected, so we get a lot of cubs to raise from all over the country (other zoos and sanctuaries, mostly).
The cubs are placed with a puppy friend when they are wee and small, so they grow up together like littermates. They play together, wrestle, and the dogs (yellow Labs) are so calm, friendly and well-socialized that the cheetahs take behavioral cues from them. When they meet new people, or go into new situations (which they often do, as ambassador animals for cheetah conservation), they check out if their dog friend is feeling chill - which he is - and then they know it’s okay for them to be chill, too.
Basically the dog is a service animal for them.
The cats need their dog friends less and less as they get older and more comfortable, but they still often hang out as grownups.
Our zoo does cheetah runs, where the cheetahs get to chase a lure and show off their speed. Often they’ll have one of the cheetahs run (we have like twelve cheetah), and then they’ll have one of the dogs do the run to show how much faster the cats are. People get a kick out of that. The dogs…let’s just say they try their best.
Omg I’m crying, this is so beautiful. 😭

One day that tiny baby will be a big shark able to rip people to shreds
most blacktip reef sharks are no more than 5.5ft long when mature. not only that, blacktip reef sharks are timid and shy, with no fatal human attacks documented. don’t comment stuff like this on my posts, save it for another post and stay off mine. thanks

what i like about this is that the people seem just. unthreatened. they are responding to these nightgaunt looking motherfuckers as if they were a particularly rambunctious opossum. “oh god damn the shadow entity stole our ball again what the fuck dude we’re trying to play horse.” perfect, i love it.
If you’re cold, they’re cold! BRING👏THEM👏INSIDE👏
Holy shit the body language in that last one is KILLING ME.
happy hanukkah!!!!
its the Happy Hanukkats :D
what city slickers don’t understand is that weird noises always come from the forest and we just ignore it
if you go out to investigate and get got then that is on you, ignore it and go back to sleep like a rational person
For the record I live in a city and this is all also true about the parking lot behind my house

[images are 8 paintings of big cats with fantasy elemental motifs: a dark brown lion with stylized flames in place of its mane; a blue snow leopard with snowflake patterns in its coat and icicles forming on its fur; a clouded leopard shrouded in grey stormclouds; a cougar perched on some striated rocks, with geodes dotting its fur; a tiger prowling with bright green vegetation sprouting from its stripes; a winking cheetah with a bright arc of lightning running along the length of its body; a blue jaguar, floating serenely with a ring of water splashing around it; and a purple-tinged panther prowling, with bright pink cracks of arcane energy creeping up from its paws and tailtip. bright diamond sparks float around it.]
