TikTok admires safari guide's bravery for trying to scare leopard away
@Christiaan Schoeman says a cat like that makes people's blood turn ice-cold:
"Daai kat maak mens se bloed ys koud. Freaking scary."@DaIsh would have got instant cardiac arrest:
"Heart attack on the spot, do you know how powerful that thing is?"@motsamaikokong respects the man's bravery:
"Applaud your work and bravery boeta... I'd be so scared I'd probably take instructions from the big kitty."@ChristelOpperman respects his guts too:
"Bravest man in South Africa."@Unclecheese notices the large cat's agitation:
"That tail flicking is a sign you need to stay away."TikTok jokes about safari guide unable to make leopard "voetsek"
While some people admired the man's bravery for trying to shoo away the spotted visitor, others were amused at his failure to do so, especially without using the universal South African word for scaring away animals.
@MeckhailJosephus tells him how to do it:
" 'Ayy' and not 'voetsek?' "@Jay shows him how to do it:
"'Hey!! 'Voetsek' with a hand clap!"@Anna shares why this word is important:
" 'Voetsek' with a clap is the universal deterrent for all animals in SA."@BaddogBailey explains why the kitty isn't scared:
"The poor leopard was confused, you didn’t say 'voetsek'."@Salman knows how to do it:
"Tell him 'voetsek!' He will go away. If that doesn’t work, then '7de Laan'."Cheetah strolls into wildlife resort while guests eat breakfast
In a similar video, Briefly News reported on a cheetah confidently walking into a dining room area of a wildlife resort.
The TikTok video of a cheetah walking into a resort while guests eat had netizens gasping in fear, but the eating guests and staff members didn't seem to be the least bit bothered by its presence.
TikTokkers on the other hand say they would've screamed at the site of this lightning fast carnivore.
