Reminder: When on a Cheetah Safari, Don’t Exit Your Car

A family visiting a Dutch safari park got quite a scare when they were chased by a cheetah after leaving their vehicle to get a closer look at the the big cats. Visitors are forbidden from exiting their vehicles in the park. No one was injured, but the outcome might have been different if it had been another species of big cat.

Cheetahs aren't as aggressive as lions or tigers, and the chasing cheetah was just protecting its territory.
