Especially when one gets up to snuggle in closer to the ranger.
Thanks, tblue37!

To answer some questions: They aren't wild cheetahs, but tamed cheetahs from the Cheetah Experience in Bloemfontein, South Africa. The video is part of a larger video uploaded in 2019.

I have seen this video in the past (cut after the first cheetah gets up and lies down next to the ranger) but never the final part which is definitely the best part!
Cheetahs may be the fastest, but they're just big scaredy cats.
