This Cheetah Gave A Photographer The Scare Of A Lifetime When She Licked His Toes

For this wildlife photographer, being licked by a wild cheetah is just another day on the job.

What looks like a terrifying moment for 57-year-old photographer Kim Wolhuter, was actually the exact opposite. The photographer had been working in Botswana in an African game reserve filming a mother cheetah and her four cubs.

“When she got really close to me and near to my foot, I thought she was going to swat it, but instead she had a lick and a nibble.”

“It hurt slightly, so I pulled my foot away, but she seemed to know to nibble gently. After all, a good bite would have gotten a very bad reaction from me.”

“She seemed to be testing me like a domestic cat would do with its owner. At no stage was I concerned, there was nothing threatening in her behavior.”

“She was curious and trusting, so it was important that I conveyed the same feelings and be as confident as possible in what I was doing.”

Wow, it’s crazy what people do in the name of passion. If you found this story as humorous and entertaining as we have, the please SHARE with friends and family!
