Huh? 08:21 Try My Best To Enrich Gabriel - Make Friends 08:36 Conclusion Gabriel Gives Back Love In BIG way Remember, Gabriel is a captive but non-releasable breeding cheetah at this rewilding project called Running Wild Conservation. I have the privilege of knowing Gabriel and enriching his life, while he enriches mine throughout his life. He's still in great shape and condition at 10 years. I pray for another healthy 10 more. I've known Gabriel for 10 years, and what a blessing and challenge it's been being his friend. He chose me long ago for friendship as a cub and never forgot. We've both had to learn each other's tolerances. I have more of course and just happy to be his friend, so I had to learn what he likes and dislikes. It's difficult as we don't share the same language, not even body ones, but I've learned. I show some of the quirks about Gabriel and how he communicates them to me. I need to become a better observer of behavior to understand him. Species all have similar behaviors, like whining, growling, position of body parts, like ears, tail, shoulders and such, but every individual in is unique in how they personalize their common behaviors. Gabriel is no different. From the paws in my face to Gabriel's love of the Play Fight, I've learned what mostly makes him tick. It has helped me bond with him, and he shows the appreciation in his loving grooming, purring response to me. When he's REALLY happy with our relationship... he does this HUGE RUB I really like. It's at the end of this video. Thanks for watching!
