Cheetah calls (chirps)

The beautiful chirps of a Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus). Cheetahs mimic birds so that they don't attract Lions, other predators and scavengers to their kills and young.

Aww I love cheetahs. They make adorable noises and are unique among big cats.

What the cheetah lacks in a terrifying roar, it makes up for with lightning speed.

Usually cheetahs call for their cubs because the mates really are only to mate, then they go away. But awww cute and great footage!

[Hulalulatallulahoop]

Awww, so cute! I didn't know that about Cheetahs mimicking birds...fascinating!!!!

[Rubywing]

On TV, on Animal Planet, I've heard cheetahs sounding pretty much like bird chirps. It's really silly:P And cute:3

[unclenutt]

[ShinokunXIII]

Such an awesome video *.*
And I love the sharpness and rich colours. OK, the D700 is an awesome DSLR.
And since the D5100 uses the same processor, I really have to get that one.
(D7000 would be to expensive for me xD.

I'm happy to know they arent completely on their own once they hit adulthood.

[maxhu]

Omfg I'm waiting and waiting and I'm expecting like this huge freakin roar or call and its like.... This itty bitty sound. How can the mate possibly hear that halfhearted little noise?

[christinerose]
