A FRIENDLY cheetah lives like a dog around a family’s home - going for walks on a leash and even getting rides in their car. Unusual footage shot in 2012 shows how Yakira, a domesticated big cat, prowls around the ranch run by wildlife experts Desmond and Elizke Gouws - who love watching TV with the big kitty. Yakira broke her hip as a cub when her mother accidentally sat on her and was taken in by the Kwa Cheetah Project at Nambiti Game Reserve, South Africa. While the project rehabilitates animals and eventually introduces them back into the wild, the four-year-old cheetah would not survive if released.
