Abi First Time At New Project! • Introducing Abigale "A...
Abi had become highly hormonal after the birth of her cubs. A survival instinct. In the beginning, only one female staff member could baby sit them. After working with Abi to earn her trust, she allows me to visit her cubs.
It's important to me for everyone caring for Abi and her cubs to be trusted. Time, love and respect heals. Abi is totally good now with her caregivers coming to visit and care for them. Even volunteers are trusted as I have asked for everyone;'s help in taming the cubs for better care going forward. I intend to place Kimi (the female cub I named her) back into the breeding program and that means I need to friendly with caregivers, whether familiar folks or strangers as I my place her on loan to a qualified breeding project years from now.
In this video I talk about why I am taming the cubs and how it benefits their overall care in the future. I also get permission from Abi to hold and experience the cubs which are only 5 days old! It was amazed how developed there were already and how the constantly move and exercise, nurse from mom and sleep to grow. I see a lot of instincts in both mom and the cubs expressing themselves and was simply fascinated. no one taught Abi to call to her cubs or be protective. It is a survival instinct.
I show glimpses of the future for these cubs and Abi as I've asked for them to be tamed to allow everyone to care for them, place a harness on them for controlled escorts to a large closed game farm (next to the project) and practice free roaming walks off lead on this veld area with prey animals.
Hope you enjoy the pleasure of seeing these cubs and sweet Abi. Much more to come.
Thanks for watching!

Abi thinks to herself: “finally, I’ve got this human trained well enough to do some babysitting and give mama a break!”
Yep...
Animals are much smarter than we give em credit for lmao
Her babies are so precious.
In ancient Egypt the Pharaoes used domesticated Cheetas as hunting partners and pets.
@@heidibower2538 Thanks for commenting! and true.
You know you've got a truly special relationship with an animal when it lets you near it's babies. Absolutely beautiful.
True... has to trust you.
its
It really is :) I have never had the fortunate experience of doing it with a cheetah, but I have with a wild coyote one of the best experiences of my life there
@@CDRhammond now that's an accomplishment
@@CheetahWhisperer did the camera man have to do the same thing?
I remember how emotional I felt when my brothers house-cat took me to see her kittens and trusted me to pick them up. I cannot even begin to imagine how it must feel to gain the same trust of a Cheetah with her cubs. Your emotions are completely understandable.
:)
I came into my room to find my 1 year old daughter inside the enclosure with my mom's dog and her new born pups. She was sitting right next to Arya and holding one of the pup's above her head, "flying" it around. Arya just seemed to smile at her. Then she left the enclosure to go get a drink and go outside to potty. Leaving her with the pups. This is a dog that is very skittish and afraid of strangers. Loves and trusts kids tho.
I just love seeing wild animals and humans having such a special bond that they let the humans handle their offspring. It’s just so wholesome
Cool!
I agree it’s touching 😊
Even a house cat will jealously guard her babies. The fact that you can get a cheetah to trust you with her litter is incredible! You are a lucky man...
Dang... never knew. Never had a house cat.. only a feral one I hired to keep rats down.
“Jealously” isn’t the right word here
@@CheetahWhisperer In my experience in past act ownership, if the mother cat already knows and trusts you, she will be more receptive to let you see and even handle her kittens, as long as you don't take them out of her sight, or she will come and grab them. But that is strong pre-established trust, plus domestic cats are small animals and humans are a lot bigger than them.
@@TheMimiSard some animals will charge any mountain all day without any fear if it touches their little ones ^^
The house cat thing you said is total bs and nothing more than a stereotype.... I doubt you even have a cat.... It depends on the owner on how well they love and take care of an animal for the animal to trust the human... D head
I love how Abi is watchful when the cubs are with you but relaxed. She doesn't look stressed at all. Just being a good mom and keeping on eye on things.
I know! She is JUST like most moms... "Where's the kids?!!!" and looks around for them. Calls to them.
@@CheetahWhisperer I think Abi could teach Humans about being better parents. Nice video.
❤️
I had a farm cat who let me watch her kittens while she was hunting. Like a babysitter 😹 It was a great feeling that she trusted me with her kittens. I sat for hours in the hay.
Cool!
Extra special moments for you! And the mother will never forget, as humans tend to. High regards.
The chittering Abby does to her babies, so beautiful. and the cubs little squeaks and watery purrs lol
Love the highly variable noises of cheetahs. It is cute the squeels of annoyance from lil sissy when she's annoyed by her brother trying to take what's "hers" but they don't hurt each other which is nature preserving family.
I found this channel due to Joe Rogan podcast. He aired a video of yours. and I'm so happy I found it. I'm so happy you get the joy of these wonderful beings and they have you. You're making a world of difference.
@@illonahunt1328 No Way! Joe Rogan? I really admire him. Never knew of him until I started watching his accurate understanding and announcing of UfC fights years ago. Then he got his pod cast and really showed his common sense attitude. I'd love to watch the podcast where he showcased me. Which was it? I was not informed about it, but hopefully he gave me some positive review but knowing his no nosense style, probably had some points for improvement too. He's pretty raw, but I've learned to live outside my echo chamber and not triggered as much by criticism like I used to be decades ago on social media. I try and teach rather than fire back.
Sounds like a predator when she calls them, like the predator movie lol
The purring into the microphone is just adorable!! 🥰🥰
Ahh, so glad I captured that! I never heard a 5 day old cub purr before either!
Cub ASMR?
@@DMlTREl definitely 🥰
They're not Cubs, they're Kittens!!
I love 💕 to hear the cheetah purrs. That's one thing I like about cats.
Abi's "cub call" is a truly sweet sound. The knowledge wild animals are born with is amazing 🤩
So cute!. Cackel... cackle... cackle... Come children!
Knowledge is the wrong term. It's instinct which comes from DNA itself
The part where you said: "Such a precious and invaluable addition to this world" when addressing the cubs really got me, such a beautiful way of understanding life :))
YEs, I don't consider these animals mine, even though I may legally owned them. They are the worlds as we share the same sky, land, life and breath. I hope to begin releasing cheetahs once I have enough individuals breeding and birthing. That is the plan.
Says "it's very special to be able to hold her cubs like this" 10 times No need to rub it in. We are all very jealous 😂
Baby cheetah purring is possibly the cutest sound I have ever heard in my entire life
YES!
Wait till you hear my farts.
OMG yes!!! They're adorable!
The baby purring almost made me unconscious from cute overload.
Sweet cub purrs and mom. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Abi, before cubs: "I don't like men. They're good for nothing." Abi, after cubs: "So... I like this guy. He is a good babysitter. Now I can have a little time for myself" :D Also, Kayzer has definitely chosen you as "his human".
Moms are so wonderful.
So Abi was a misandrist before. Reminds me of a lot of modern western women nowadays.
@@chucku00 So let me get this straight…. You think that it’s not acceptable for men to say bad things about women, but you for some reason think it’s ok when people say bad things about men? Double standards, much?
@@chucku00damn a self-report
@@chucku00 like yours wasnt
You even cried like a Dad when you saw the babies … LOVE it!
:) I thought it important to show my feelings and level of sincerity toward the goals of this project. Breed and rewild cheetahs. Next will be training for release. That could happen if I have more cubs and train them for rewilding in the future. All my cubs will go through the training for my understanding and their enrichment and benefit even if they may or may not be released. Kimi, for instance, I don't plan on releasing because I need her as a breeder. She is being trained to eat variety of game animals and watching hunts from other cheetahs on a open game reserve. She will be allowed to hunt on her own when old enough and strong enough. She is 7 months old now. I only have 2 females now so need more breeders and cubs before I can release any. But that is my goal. It had been 10yrs before I got the assistance I needed to breed cubs. Then Abi borr these cubs. Thx for watching and commenting!
I think we can all understand how hard it is to "keep composure" with a cheetah cub in your hands 🥰 insane amounts of cute and adorableness can cause what i call "eye melting". Simply amazing how calm Abi is while her cubs are climbing all over you. Kayzer has a profession as lap cat in mind, it seems
:) Thanks for watching and commenting!
Just hearing that little baby purr had my eyes welling up with tears. There is no shame in cuteness overload.
I call it " acute cuteness sickness"
For real, thanks for sharing that moment!
Abi calling to the cubs and the cups chirping back got me pretty good.
Purrring is the most calming sound in the world🥰🎶
I know!
Yep.
While it may be open to debate what it actually does for felines (they don't talk, we may never truly know), there's definitely no debate whatsoever about how It pretty much always makes feel relaxed and available for some petting, cuddling and snuggling with the furriends!
One of my two cats has taken it upon himself to stop migraine from kicking my butt. He will actually come hug my head and purrr. It vibrates through my skull, relaxing & healing; amazing🥰
Scientifically it is proven purring is good for for our health. So it is designed to be calming and almost therapeutic.
I love how can hear Abi’s purring and can’t hear the cubs purr, unless with the mic! So adorable cheetah cubs!!
I know! Makes me wonder how a cheetah mom can even hear that! Now that they are older, the cub purrs are more audible. Next video about them, I'll show their purrs and status.
Alright alright, very nice! Love watching videos of type of Africa’s cat family!!
They look like little honey badgers, absolutely amazing connection you have with her, and imprinting on the male cub is awesome to see.
True! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Its a crazy fact of evolution, but cheetah cubs look like badgers for a reason; most animals don't fuck with badgers. Considering how many L's Cheetahs take in the wild, they absolutely need this edge to survive.
she's chill because she knows you're gonna nanny her babies, that's less work/stress for her😅
I know! It's a full time job 24hr for a new mom or repeat one.
Nah she know that she can fuck im up like nothing
the micro purr and Abi calling to her cubs... amazzzing!
I know!
I've always had a soft spot for cheetahs. They're a wonderful unique animal that can form bonds with humans & they sometimes have dog companions for stress relief.
Yes... I think many of these cheetahs get great relief from encounters too. I always make it their choice. I made a slight acception in Abi's case to care for her cubs but didn't force it. Just repetition and niceness.
Abi is just like all moms watching her children playing on the playground and calling them when it’s time to go home. Love it!
I played Abi's purr for my 8-year-old stepdaughter and asked her what she thought the sound was. "A motorcycle?" she asked. 😂
That is cool! Someone clever called it a Cheetah Cub Geiger Counter!
😂😂
The first look at the newborn cubs absolutely destroyed me, I cannot handle how absolutely precious they are!
Ahhh...
You are not alone ma'am. Those babies are just too sweet. Especially when they were cuddling with him. This kind of reminds where I had a cool experience to help a feral cat mom to trust me enough to handle her sweet babies. Gaining her trust like that was awesome. Her babies were just too precious. They gave us our daily cuteness fix. They are all fixed including the mama named Lilly. I can't imagine how amazing it is with a cheetah. Abi is such a good girl. Her babies are gorgeous.
It’s hard not to smile this entire video. Such and amazing experience.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Oh the kittens were wagging their tails, super cute!
They do if excited too. Especially if ready to start to play.
Four days? Four? Days? You have some special vibe - the last time I viewed you with a cub in your lap was Aurora when she was 12 weeks! Congrats. Man, these cubs are priceless. And it's only just a matter of time before they start hissing (a cat's third favorite thing after manipulating humans shamelessly and grooming). Great video!
:) Yes Aurora and ornery Nova who always target me for her antics. I think it was because she liked me.
I have to admit, I got goosebumps when he said 4 days, that is very impressive for a large bodied man. He has built an extremely strong relationship with that cheetah.
Dolph, what is your full first name? because you also have a German last name. i’m actually pretty concerned about this
@@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim That's so cute you wonder about my name. As an American, most all of us have European ancestry. German, French, England mosty from my DNA look up. Honest truth is my KZhead name is an Alias for a book I wrote years ago called "Dire Encounters". Consisting of two books, the story about an teenaged Ice Age Indian coming of age who encounters two dire wolves that change the direction of his life. Look it up on Amazon Books or the link at the bottom of my description in this video if interested in the book(s). Like most all celebrities, radio and TV talk show hosts, I use a fake name to protect my privacy and identity. It has worked out well as only my family, friends, colleagues and occasionally person recognizes me from my videos. My stage name is a subtext consisting of my favorite animals in the world. My name should be longer based on that because there are more of my favorite animals in this world, but Dolph= Dolphin, C= Cheetah, and Volker= Wolves. I also love the Raven, parrots, whales, bears, pinnipeds, all cats and dogs. I especially like highly intelligent species as you can establish interactive communication with them the easiest.
@@CheetahWhisperer that’s AMAZING!!!! thank you for explaining!! backstory- i recently found out that Arnold Schwartznegger’s father was a N@z! which is why Arnold disowned him. so I went down a rabbit hole and learned that MANY Germans are still silent neo-N@z!s so this put me on high alert. again, thank you for explaining. because i refuse to ever associate with that kind of monstrous demonology
If I got to hold a cheetah cub, I'd be emotional too!! How very lucky you are....to have the love of Mama AND both BABIES.....my man, you can go no higher!! Congratulations on being accepted as a member!!
It is wonderful. I'll show much more about Abi and her cubs as they grow and mature into adults.
Man gets choked up holding the cub for the first time is probably the sweetest part of this video *drops mic*
What a beautiful animal and the cubs are adorable. I can almost imagine the excitement you felt, first by being accepted by Abi and then be allowed to interact with her cubs. So very cool being accepted by the cubs and having them crawl over your legs and snuggle up with you. You are extremely lucky.
It really is!
The cubs are so precious I hope they grow so strong
Me2
I love how Abby's purr makes my phone vibrate.
I love her purrs. So relaxing.
What a privilege you've been endowed with being trusted with a Cheetah's prized possession, her cubs! Thank you for sharing this very special occasion.
Absolutely!
Oh my god, their tiny little purrs.... SO sweet!!!!
So cute... But mom probably can't hear them when they are nursing. So quiet!
Love your dedication to these amazing creatures Dolph. The trust they show you is next level. Beautiful!
Thx!
Considering the harsh circumstances of Abi's birth, it's so awesome to see her as a competent and loving mother. My younger brother and mom almost died during childbirth too, so I especially love Abi's story. This video is just more great evidence that although instinct is very strong, animals aren't completely bound to it like robots running on a program. Abi is able to assess the situation and _decide_ that instinct can take a back seat - because she trusts you and your intent. I wonder if her cubs' *obvious* comfort with you is also a factor in her remaining calm.
So glad you enjoyed the video. As for the cubs connection. I suppose it has to do with mom and the fact a caretaker was sleeping and caring for them 24hrs. They get used to people.
What happened with Abis birth?
@@98802ohhey Hello. Not sure if you are asking about when Abi was born or her cubs so tell you both. Abi was born via C-Section because she was caught in the birth canal and when they removed her, her hip was damaged that needed a piece of her bone removed months later. As for her birth of the cubs, it went PERFECT. Both cubs are growing fast and doing very well.
I loved that moment with Abi at the middle-end, after you show her the cubs. It's almost as if a spark happened, and she really started to show how much she trusted or "thanked" you for not hurting her babies. I wonder if she'll be even "nicer" to you from now on after that.
She relaxed and laid down to see her cubs. Telling me I had them long enough, time for their cleaning and nursing. Very cute.
I have things to do, but can’t stop watching these precious animals interacting with each other and with you. Bringing tears to my eyes…
True!
What adorable little cheetalettes.😄. Such little purrs. They're bonding to you too I think.
I hope they can bond with me. I had to leave to go back to may career which pays to support them. I'll be back when they are a bit older.
@@CheetahWhisperer what is your career I want to be like you
@@unelectedbureaucrat2003 There are MANY disciplines in the animal welfare field. I eared a zoology degree and it helped me immensely to understand and make a difference. I also have a career in computers which helps in this modern era. Look to educate yourself about the subject that interests you. It could mean school or self study, but it does not mean you have to wait for experience. Volunteer! 90% of the folks I met in the specific field of endangered species projects like this were volunteers 1st. Most don't have a formal education but it helps if you do, not just to get hired but understanding everything. There are many disciplines to help. There is the need for proper veterinarians, land management, social media awareness, animal husbandry, wildlife management, zoology, animal sciences, business management, nonprofits and so many more. All are necessary for a project success like this and helps.
I think you mean 'cheetos'
@@ragnarian Chee-toes. I'll show them up close in a video talking about the anatomy of a cheetah.
I never knew that I needed ASMR of cheetah purrs and suckling, but I'm glad to have it in my life now. Life is so beautiful!
ASMR!
I recommend a house cat to get the same effect just lower intensity but still very great! Cats are basically asmr experts. Their purring actually is said to have healing frequencies too.
They’re such little snuggle bugs. What a good mom Abi is 🤗
I wad happily surprised.
That purr killed me! Too much cuteness!
Lil baby cun purrs. They say that cubs purr to mom when nursing so it communicates they are content and OK. But I could barely hear tiny Kayzer purring and wonder if they have to get bigger before mom actually hears it
this whole video is theraputic, very strong stress relief. and the way Kayzar likes you, you send it to mommy but he's like: no, I want to be with you. so adorable, thank you Mr. Dolph C. Volker, you made my day.
Wow.. so glad you liked it.
Oh heavens the tiniest purrs are so precious I can't 😭
I know!
I love Cheetahs. Just a fierce hunter, but a shy, nervous cat at heart. THey have a special place in my heart
Same here! They're the good cats of the plains.
This channel has been something ive enjoyed for years. No million dollar shoots with this and that. Just a guy that loves these cats doing his thing.
So glad you are a continual fan.
You actually read peoples comments and you have taken time to give us another video about Abi and her cubs. Man, you are a good person and so lucky to be able to show them some love!❤ ❤❤
That is RIGHT! Welcome.
I got emotional watching you holding those fluff balls. How extraordinary! Everything you're doing is paying off. See you next time.
THey are so wonderful. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I think Abby likes co-parenting with you. So relaxed.
She's so sweet but also very scary too when comes to protecting her cubs. Typically she just keeps away if she does not like you but with the cubs I've seen the bravery.
Cheetas are so magistic beautiful and I didn"t know they could be so tame and super gentle.
Yeah...cheetahs are a non aggressive lesser cat and why. All their bluster in the wild is to bluff and save themselves from direct conflict which they loose to all equal and larger size predators.
Are cheetahs naturally more adaptable to humans than other big cats? I am constantly amazed by their composure. Also, thank you beyond words for sharing your amazing interaction with Abi, Kimi, and Keyzer. Extraordinary footage
Yes... cheetahs are considered non-aggressive and will back away from most all fights from other predators and VERY skittish to even things that can't hurt them. THey run... So that makes their mentality easily tamed. The history of the cheetah and man goes way back centuries... The Egyptians owned them as breeders, hunters, and pets. Not that that is their purpose of course.
Starting to think getting domesticated is probably their only way out of extinction.
@@blackosprey2219 I think you're right, too narrow of genetics to really make it in the wild. Non aggressive as well.
@@blackosprey2219 Well, that might protect them from predators, but sadly there's not a lot to do about their genetic bottlenecking.
@@CheetahWhisperer , I've seen captive cheetah cubs paired with puppies, as a means of giving them a soothing friend. If the cheetah's pupper isn't spooked by whatever new situation they find themselves facing, then the cheetah will be brave and go forward with their friend at their side. My house cat is the cheetah of the domestic kitty world. She is an Egyptian Mau, a breed that has been clocked at running over 48km per hour. I didn't buy her, I'm a cat rescuer. She came to me through my cousin, who owns a curly horse ranch. She was given a kitten to have as a mouser in her barn. Her first winter there, Chewie slipped on some ice, and slid under a horses hoof just as said horse was stepping back. Chewie's leg was snapped in two. My cousin was unwilling to risk Chewie's life on her ability to outrun any coyotes, foxes, cougars etc, so now she runs through my apartment at 48 klicks per hour. Egyptian Mau's also have the same loose belly skin as cheetah's have, to allow them to elongate their stride for more speed and therefore, more ground covered whilst running. I find this interesting, I hope someone else will too. Thank you for helping to keep this species alive for their own sake.
Love the toddle-crawling All mammal kids are the same at heart, example 1 million
Just gettin their legs!
These cubs get me in the feels through the screen, I can't even begin to imagine how much stronger that has to be in person.
So cool. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Man…what a stunning animal! Beautiful cubs too.
Yes they are!
You're so lucky for getting to be around them! They're so adorable😘😘
Amazing experience. I am glad I can show them.
Cheetahs are definietly being threatened, and it is a godsend that you are helping to preserve these adorable big house cats(not literal 'house cat' but the species).
Thx!
Precious little cubs!!! Abi is a sweet girl. If I remember right, she is one of larger female cheetah? How cool that Abi developed a call especially for her cubs! 😍 What good mama!
Isn't CUTE about the Cheetah Mom Calls! "Come to mommy!"
Absolutely so rewarding to be in this position. And I imagine getting to be with these cubs so young, and have them cuddling up to you like this will help your relationship with those animals as they older for them being comfortable around you
Beyond words!
Abi is one of the greatest moms of all times. I love her so much
YES! And didn't know it! She is 6 years old and moved to a new project and what stimulated her to breed.
I cannot get over their cuteness!!
I KNow!
Awwwwwwwww that's soooooo wholesome. Seeing the mom being protective of her kids and then all of them purring and trusting you got a tear in my eye 🥰🥰
So glad you enjoy this! Cheetah re-population and rewilding is a super honorable thing and I am trying to do it the best way I can.
I think cheetah cubs are absolutely adorable! They have such a unique look and they're so small and cuddly. It's amazing to think that such a powerful predator can come in such a small package. Seeing a cheetah cub brings out a lot of joy and happiness in me.
Me too! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I lived in South Africa 10 years ( Sun City) and I spent a lot of time with the wild life . 4 days to allow you to be with her cubs ? you have a special vibe for her to allow that. Keep up the good work , animal lovers like you are needed to help send out the message so that these beautiful animals survive for years to come.
Thx! Abi truly loves everyone but her hormones kicked in and she was actually scary at times. But, just show her you are no threat and gets some pets in on her and she purrs like normal. She is SUPER chill now and allows anyone to encounter her and the cubs. They all go on nature walks off lead next door at a large veld area. I'll film and show this 4K before end of the year.
Oh... my... gosh... Those two are unbelievably cute! Abi is such a sweetheart.
I know! Thanks for watching and commenting!
They’re so precious. The cubs’ coloration is so cute too.
I know!
-"I have to gain Abbi's trust to visit her cubs" *meanwhile camera man approaches cubs with a lot of gear*
Dolph explained in a comment reply that the camerawoman was the female keeper that Abby only trusted, so that fact made it easier for him to get her trust
The amount of trust that Abi has with you is wonderful, it must have taken a while for her to feel like you weren't going to hurt her. She is a fantastic mom, she may be walking around but she has her eyes on them at all times !! What a honor and a blessing.
Abi is great now. She has realized she can trust those around her with the cubs so much better now. Thanks for watching and commenting!
You must be delighted that 'Mum' is obviously quite happy for you to be interacting with her babies 🥰 👍 xxx
I am delighted for sure. I had to leave for my other job but heard all three are super with people now and trusting to get better care.
The mother trusts that man is amazing.
I think my most memorable experience with being allowed near newborn little animals under the parent's watchful gaze was with a hummingbird family. My childhood home had small orchard which would change through many colours as seasons went by, and I would bring bird feeders and clean the little drinking fountains. A couple of hummingbirds decided that they liked me, I think, and they nested on a branch right beside my bedroom's window. As I grew up I learnt that they are fiercely territorial animals, but they didn't seem to mind my presence at all. They would perch on me sometimes, and their chicks learnt from them. They would often lick my arms for some reason, when I was refiling their water. "I'm not a flower!" I would giggle at them.
Thanks for your memories!
Congratulations! They are soooo cuuute 🥰🥰🥰🥰, I´m so in love with these tiny furry kitties..😍😍..! Every sound a cheetah makes is soooo sweeeet...!! Abi is such a wonderful mommy - all mothers are protective, it´s just nature´s instinct. I hope these cubs will grow into healthy big cats, so that there are a few cheetahs more here on planet earth!
So super to watch a mom change persona to protect their progeny for the next generation.
Makes me so happy knowing they are safe and protected instead of out there in the wild, I can't imagine how hard it is for mother Cheetahs in the wild
Me too. I hope people gain a respect, love of predators and wanting conservation of cheetahs from watching my videos.
The cubs are so adorable. Wonderful that you have the full trust of the mother. Cheetahs are such beautiful animals.
Thanks!
Cheetah cubs have to be the cutest babies of all the big cats. 😙😙😙
I know! So wobbly, and helpless...
Obviously kids do not only need a mom. They need a daddy, too! Heartwarming to look at !💙 Thanks for sharing these precious moments
Glad Abi can get a break from care of her cubs. Moms in the wild are 100% non stop on their own.
Ohhhh! They're adorable!!! And Uncle Dolph got to cuddle and play with them! I'm thoroughly jealous. Again.😸 Enjoy every moment you get to spend with these precious critters.
Glad you enjoyed the video. I wish everyone had jobs caring for animals. Replace their space with ours and share it.
Man crunching on those bones sound gnarly! So cute little ones. That fence around her looks like she could bounce right over that thing. That purring is so loud. Awesome.
I know! I will record JUST a ASMR cheetah feeding video later.
Such a powerful and majestic animal as an adult, and so sweet and adorable as babies.
I know! Thanks!
it's so great seeing beautiful Abi being a great first time mom to her adorable baby cubs(they are so cute, how are they allowed to be so cute??)😻 and it's great to see how respectful you are with her and her needs, making sure they're all safe and that she's comfortable
Its a necessity... their good care.
Most Lucky man interacting with cheetah cubs . Abbi is very graceful and elegant 💕💕
She is SUPER mom.
Mommy is happy she has a babby sitter she can trust and give her a break. lol
I know! Such a stressful job for a cheetah 🐆 mom who in the wild must leave her cubs behind for 3 months while she hunts until they are old enough to follow them help....about 6 months. Still dangerous at that age for them to help and really needs to be about 1 year to be real help foe mom.
They're so cute that it's literally comical. I'm laughing to myself, just seeing them on a screen. Being there with them must be amazing. Not to mention getting the huge compliment of being trusted enough by Abby to handle her cubs. It may not be the highest level of trust (I wouldn't know), but it's more than just "something"; she's setting her wild, protective instincts aside, which is amazing. Also, from some angles, they look so much like honey badgers that I can see how that coloring will be protective in the wild.
Cool. Yes honey Badgers. The next video that is out talks a out that! Check it out!
Abby is pacing back and forth making sure the cubs are okay, great video, thanks for sharing with us.
Yes.. full time job with kids, as parents know! Thanks for watching and commenting! Maybe she enjoys a break now and then with folks caring for her cubs. But always looking for them.
Abi is such a purrfect mom, so sweet 🥰👌
yes! She is! Thx
Precious call of the wild !!!😻😻😻😻😻😻 An by is majestic, a real Queen !😻😻😻😻
True,!
Abi and her cubs are so really sweet and trusting. ❤
I know!
It's great how you could get close to Abi again and she's okay with you holding her cubs. They sure are cute.
Sure is!
Kayzer coming to visit you was so precious.
Wand'nt that cute!
To me the most beautiful cubs are cheetah cubs, of all big cats. They are amazing, simply perfect.
True! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Seeing you bond with these magnificent animals is such a heart warming experience. Thank you for such a wonderful video.
Our pleasure! To love any animal is a reward.
she’s a great mama 😊
Abi is an amazing mama. And those cubs are so adorable, I never seen cheetah's cubs before. Thanks for posting.
So cool.. Glad you got to see and hear baby aged cheetah cubs purr and the last video squeal for moms milk!
Wow such precious cubs and it’s amazing to be able to see them so up close and personal with the mom right by their sides. Thank you so much for sharing this and we are grateful to be able to see such precious cubs so young!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Got to love watching the little male, he was all content just snuggling into your lap. He was warm, comfortable and content just to stay there.
I know! I liked the encounter but I saw Abi kinda jealous and so made sure they went to her.
The baby cubs so cute with their darker coat on the belly making them look like badgers 🥰
i know. I need to talk about their top cover mantel fur next video about them. The camo is designed to look like a honey badger so predators will mistake them for one and leave them alone.
Ah yes, that's some nice unforgettable purring moments with the furriends... even I feel better and relaxed just from watching the video!
True comfort... cheetah purrs.
man im melting away watching this, these cubs are pure cuteness
:)
You are truly blessed to have such a powerful and graceful predator trust you with her kittens.
She is off and on with me. Depends.
@@CheetahWhisperer That is still much better than 90% of people. Abi would likely be very wary around others especially men
