Please like and share this video if you like it ;) Thanks to Running Wild Cheetah Conservation for re-introducing Gabriel's harness training so he could go on these walks in the Game Reserve next door. They have been working with Gabriel in some enrichment exercises and it has really paid off. It has allowed his life's experiences expand from outside his natural wild, large but confined enclosure. Gabe had been on walks as a cub, but when he got to an adult, he became more to handle and he walks stopped for him. He was at a different cheetah project and I didn't own him at the time so had zero influence on his life. I bought him at 5 years old, then moved him to this more natural property and cheetah project. The game reserve next door was a super bonus. The cheetahs get walks and hunting practice! I wish I had known Gabriel would not have minded the harness or I would have began walks in the veld sooner. He LOVED it! Even examining the human horse inhabitations. He would not stop walking! I followed him across the reserve, only directing him away from hazards and not going to far. I don't think he would come back on his own unless he was very hungry, or know where to go. He would need lots more walks. He enjoyed experiences the senses of this reserve habitat as it was natural for him and his species. Gabriel is very independent and rarely comes when I call except for food or a groom. He would hurt himself or get lost or injured from all the hazards there. He does not know how to hunt or what not to hunt and might try attacking something out of his league. So, I hope to continue the walks and get him used to it. I need to train him to come on command, maybe use a bowl of treats to place his harness on to return to the enclosures. For most all the other cheetahs, he harness to the reserve then let them go, and retrieve them on the way back. They may walk, play, rest, or even hunt. If probably want to place a GPS collar on my Gabriel to find him again. Thanks for watching! Intro Music: Mountain Trek - Underground Music Library - Amotz Plessner.
