Tour Guide Takes Selfie With Cheetah Only Inches From His Head, Internet Is Divided

A fearless tour guide clicking a selfie with a cheetah has gone viral on the internet. Posted by IFS officer Clement Ben, the short clip shows a group of tourists sitting in a safari car. Moments later, a curious cheetah climbs on the open-top safari car and begins using it as a viewpoint.

In the nerve-racking video, the tour guide is seen getting up from his seat to get a selfie. Further in the video, the big cat is seen sitting inches away from the guide's head, while he is seen telling the tourists, "Don't worry, I am your guide." The cheetah, however, gave him a spectacular selfie while exploring the vehicle. The video ends abruptly, there is no information on how long did the tourists wait for the cheetah to get down from the car.

Recently, India welcomed eight cheetahs after 70 years on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's birthday. He released three cheetahs into the Kuno National Park.
