"They are really shy (cheetahs). You approach them to feed them, change their water and then you just leave them, because the longer you stand there, the more they panic, and often they start running into fences and all sorts of things and then, they can injure themselves. She'll calm down eventually in about a week or so, but for the time being, she's a little bit highly strung."
