Sam, a volunteer at the reserve and a photographer, left the city to calm his thoughts and devote time to photographing wildlife. He recently suffered the loss of his beloved puppy and decided to devote himself entirely to animal welfare: spending his vacation and savings on helping and educating about different species.
Cheetahs are one of the most timid and vulnerable big cats, and it can be difficult to gain their trust. Thanks to Sam’s patience and sincere interest, he managed to establish contact with the group, and in one hot minute he rested, leaning against a tree.
One of the cheetahs, Edna— noticed the man, came up, sniffed and climbed onto his lap, as if hugging him. When He woke up, He found Himself in an unusual moment of intimacy with a wildcat, and a deep bond was born between them.
