Sleeping with the Cheetahs

Dolph C. Volker works with lots of wildlife species, but he has a special place in his heart for cheetahs. At Cheetah Experience in South Africa, he took the opportunity to go sleep in a cheetah enclosure on a rainy night. Would the cats mind? Would they come and try to share his blankets? In this video, Volker explains cheetah hierarchy and decision-making, but all we really want to do is see a guy snuggle with three 100-pound apex predators that also happen to be kitty cats.

You might be jealous of a man who attracts cats like that, but he didn't get much sleep due to the constant rearranging as each cheetah wants to be in the middle, not to mention their loud purring. Next time, he'll know to take more blankets! -via Metafilter ā€‹
