Mostly mountain lions keep to themselves but they have been known to attack and kill joggers. Checking wikipedia there were two fatalities in 2018 and the next previous one is in 2008.
So vending machines kill more people.
When hiking in North America, you're much more likely to get killed by snake bite. And the elements (thirst, hypothermia, etc.) provide an even greater risk.
Meanwhile on the savannas of Africa Cheetahs are notorously easy to domesticate. A saucer of milk is kitty crack and will reduce a cheetah into Your Furry Forever Friend. It's a problem because the wild cheetah population is vulnerable.
Extremely.
Cheetahs are the tamest of the big cats and are known for seeking refuge near humans.
Have you seen one of the numerous videos where cheetahs casually plop down on safari jeeps for escaping lions or use the cars as looking perches or for shade?
