Glad not being physically equipped to make a snow angel didn’t bum it out. Also, when it came it in a looney toons skip, I lost it. What a majestic beast.

Maybe some generic mammal behaviors got locked in before they decided to focus on ants? They look weird as hell, but the've got a common ancestor with kittens and humans and giraffes if you go back far enough.

Aren't cheetahs like super nervous in captivity to the point where they have to have their own therapy dogs and stuff?

Apparently most of the cheetah population already is descended from a captive one.

Cheetah mating rituals require a lot of land. Like, a lot.

They're nervous, high-strung, and don't breed well in captivity. They're also all really inbred, sadly, which is probably the biggest threat to them.

Eighties ZomCom posted:Aren't cheetahs like super nervous in captivity to the point where they have to have their own therapy dogs and stuff? So are many feral cats. The famous Grandpa Mason was super nervous around humans, but loved kittens. A friend who took in hard to adopt cats had one that hid all day, it would only come out and do cat stuff when the humans were sleeping or out. And those are ferals who are only a few generations out of domestication, after thousands of generations that selected for tolerance of humans as a pro-survival trait. PurpleXVI posted:I'm mildly surprised we never domesticated cheetahs rather than housecats. We probably didn't deliberately choose to domesticate housecats either. They just showed up and said "I live here now," as cats are wont to do. ![]() It's also much easier to feed a house cat or farm cat than a cheetah. Let them go outside and they'll mostly feed themselves most of the time. You can't really do that with a cheetah, because it's big enough to take livestock. So only people rich enough in meat to feed a 80 pound obligate carnivore can afford to have pet cheetahs. They can be trained as hunting partners, but that still means you need to have a successful hunt every few days all year round. Dogs can also be trained as hunting partners but like us they are omnivores who will eat whatever. Dogs are super easy to feed so they are cheaper hunting partners to keep.

That's not genetic or losing domestication, though - any kittens they have in human care will be just as domesticated as a regular cat. It's just housecats in general still aren't automatically adapted to humans without growing up used to them or a long adaption process.

Cats are semi-domesticated, whereas dogs are fully domesticated.
