a very lucky man and crew.

about time they stopped all this wildlife stuff ,how many times are we going to see "baby" x animal get seperated from mum by nasty bitey animals or a collection of bitey animals eating something nearly dead.

theres very little that hasent been caught on camera already so why pay idiots to shoot more ?

you could mish mash wildlife "films" for a 100 years on the stock footage and with clever editing have animals "chasing" each other from entirely different places on earth.

i find them boring to the extreme and the ape ones at the top ,exterminate apes and i will be happy or have an ape on lion competition to make it just a little interesting

i expect the cheeta was just as **** of as i am but had the fun of attacking these overpaid bores

it brings to mind the old disney "wildlife" films! one in particular had an animal going through the usual "escapes" from bitey animals (strangely though both never appearing in the same shot) one gut wretchingly section was the animal being "lonely" and "afraid" despite it being probably tame and surrounded by a full camera crew.

"wild " animals are so damn used to camera teams they probably follow them around the country to appear on film!

strangely in the clip it didnt look like he had been bitten yet i saw somewhere his? hand bleeding ,if he had got away unscathed on the first warning then its his owned dammed fault for going back!!

chesters - he went and got the cheetah off another bloke that it was attacking. The cheetah died a few hours later and was found to have rabies. So, I think it was a bit more than **** off

they're lucky to have not been badly hurt, shame about the cheetah poor thing.
