Cuteness Overload: Tiny Cheetah Cub Stalks Camera In Precious Video

A tiny cheetah cub looking into the camera curiously.

This tiny cheetah cub’s adorable antics are about to brighten your day! In a heart-melting video on social media, the Cincinnati Zoo shared some footage of one of their cutest residents. Watch as this fierce kitty uses their razor-sharp hunting instincts to follow the moving camera. Also, please don’t point out that they stumbled and fell at one point. You’ll hurt their feelings!

Eventually, the cheetah cub finally caught up to the camera, leading to the most hilarious close-up of the creature’s fuzzy chin. Once this baby animal got tired of chasing the device, they turned to the nearest object of interest. This happened to be the hem of a person’s pant leg. Everything is worth exploring at that age!

Over two million people have watched this sweet video online. However, many social media users had one complaint: there’s no sound! Everyone in the comments section absolutely demanded to hear the noises this cheetah cub made while playing with the camera.

“Why is this baby being SILENCED,” wrote one indignant user.

Another chimed in, “You’ve gotta repost this with sound I’m BEGGING.”

We’re hoping that the Cincinnati Zoo responds to these pleas at some point. However, there’s plenty more baby cheetah content to explore on their social media account while we wait!

In one video, the zoo provided some captivating footage of teeny cheetah cubs Zola and Lulu. Thankfully, this clip includes sound. There’s some very important purring to be heard!

When cheetah cubs Zola & Lulu are not eating or sleeping (which are both super cute) they like to teeth on various toys. Sometimes when they sleep, their little feet move as if they’re dreaming! They also enjoy playing together and cuddling up near one another for naps & being with their care staff, slowly learning to walk towards them and enjoy getting socialization time with their keepers. Both cubs are getting better at walking and moving around and will be running around the nursery before we know it! #cheetah #babyanimals #cincinnatizoo #zookeeper

Another post shows little Zola playing with one of her toys. Well, sort of. Although a caregiver tried to pique the cheetah cub’s interest with a stuffed toy, the baby animal seemed mostly absorbed in chewing on her blanket. However, she did give the plushy a few nibbles!

Up close with Zola the baby cheetah! DYK: Many of the animals from the beloved film The Lion King have real-life counterparts you can meet at the Cincinnati Zoo, like cheetahs! Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King is out Friday! #Mufasa#ProtectThePride

After watching all these baby cheetah videos, we have one question for the Cincinnati Zoo. Can we take one home? Pretty please?
