A close up encounter with a dangerous creature, that cheetah is lucky to be still alive.

The glass: I'm the real hero of this whole show.

The cat’s ears are pointing straight back, indicating that the cat might be significantly more afraid of her than she is of him.

[timothymuldoon]

This is such a mistake. Now she's going to blindly trust cheetahs in her neighborhood. Everyone knows they're spotty characters.

Cheetah was just going through recipes in his mind while kid was vunerable.

No, the cheetah is not "fascinated", it is just evaluating her for a possible snack before lunch.

Little girl: *having screaming toddler fun*
Cheetah: you'd make a lovely snack.

[TiffanyWilsonMusic]

She startled the cheetah seems he’s happy the glass is there too 😂

[MillysUniverse]

Little girl: *screaming in joy*
Cheetah: I hate when humans bring their cubs

[AdverbsAndNouns]

That cheetah 🐆 is absolutely stunning ❤

[bfgivmfith]

She is definitely too happy and innocent and having fun to notice those eyes. She actually scared him twice! :)

Got to be one of the most beautiful faces in the animal kingdom.

Cheetah's expression be like : "Humans are so annoying especially their kittens" 😂😂😂😂😂

[batenchung]

No one is talking about how beautiful that bbaby girl is.
She's just a little ball cuteness having fun with no care in the world.
Its her parents responsibility to care.😊😊

As a cat lover... I'm not convinced this cheetah LIKES this little girl. Cheetah looks rather annoyed.

[desmondgurley]

Cheetah: Why do they keep putting my meals on the wrong side?

[ericthered]

The cats thinking "Wow, they come in snack size too."

[ericwinkler]

Several comments say the cheetah looks annoying. I don't think so.
We have two cats in each of our homes and have already raised 15 kittens. However, when my cats get annoyed, they just walk away.

To me, this beautiful cat shows signs of curiosity and interest, but also remains on alert all the time, as you can see how she reacts when the toddler makes quick movements that she wasn't expecting. I
think the interest she shows is because the girl is a toddler and is not afraid at all. Most children probably don't show that much joy and laugh (squeal) uncontrollably (she can't hear the noises, the glass is soundproof).
The curiosity I also think I recognize is the doted dress the girl is wearing (polka dot).
The cheetah recognizes her as a member of her own species, but cannot classify or understand what exactly it is.

Here I bring in my cats again, when they watch the cartoon "Lion King" or "Tom and Jerry", "Aristocats" etc., they are absolutely amazed by these cats but notice that they are not there, even though they call (meow) them a few times, but since the cartoon cat does not respond in their way, they do not see any threat in them but keep their interest high. What are these? They look like us, but are different from us. I think that's what's going on in the cheetah's head too. The toddler appears to be related and yet not. Hence her curiosity. But that's just my opinion. I don't know either!

Cheetah: “I asked for a ‘Happy Meal’, but NOT this happy”
