When he was volunteering at Cheetah Experience in South Africa, Dolph C. Volker bonded with 10-month-old cheetah cub Gabriel. He spent a lot of time with the cub, feeding him, playing with him and cuddling with him.
When he returned to the sanctuary over a year later, Dolph was reunited with this big cat, and their embrace is adorable. Gabriel was straight in for some cuddles. Check it out as this wild animal purrs and plays like a house cat! Credit: Dolph C. Volker
