Gabriel The Cheetah Loves Females Food THEN Friends BIG Cat Expects Food But Gets Friend Instead

It's funny but interesting how life is. In there somewhere in between is also aggression, which is used to sustain personal survival, such as food aggression, defending territory (for wild cheetahs) and fighting off other predators to include other coalition of cheetahs. Many male and female cheetahs decide to fight for various reasons in captivity, but limited to protect them. Some aggression promotes the breeding response, like coalition of males slapping each other over a female the both like. Fence aggression is a real thing for captive cheetahs and controlled. Males could decide to kill each other if given the chance.

But in a captive breeding program like this one, problems are mitigated and controlled. Not so in a wild environment where many a cheetah dies to predation, injury, and sickness. Noit many cheetahs reach adulthood and far less die of old age.

Gabriel is so funny ditching me for females and food. But I am so glad he has enough room in his heart and mind to find a friend in me. THAT is my reward for giving loving care for him and all my cheetahs; past, present and the future.
