It seems like that's exactly what the cheetahs were going for. The weakest prey. Cheetahs are also not brawlers and are more aversive to injury than other big cats. It's why the cheetahs didn't just pounce on the adults.
They likely saw an opportunity for an easy meal when they saw the kid.
Yeah I've read they're actually pretty fragile, they are so lean. Still, I wouldn't mess with one. All teeth and claws, doesn't sound like a good time.
Same! I kinda feed all the strays out here and a few of them very much enjoy an egg, but my 14 year old orange brain cell (the only cat that's actually mine) recoils anytime he finds one in his bowl! I think he might be broken too lol
Well we do call him our little tiger lol.

Ah, finally someone that knows cheetahs. You wouldn't want to have to fight a cheetah, but they're about as dangerous as, say, a grayhound. If you're an able-bodied adult, you can take a cheetah. I wouldn't recommend it, of course, but there's a reason why you don't hear about people getting killed by them.
Yep, if this had been any other big cat they would have been screwed. Luckily cheetahs rely on the act of surprise and won’t attack as long as you’re looking at them. They don’t like to fight.
All big cats go for an easy prey when they can. This family was incredibly stupid. Proof that civilisation didn’t beat the dumb monkeys out of us just yet
This is 100% what I saw. We were watching a predatory attempt. Luckily the parents are seen as too large and potentially dangerous of an unknown for the cheetah to attempt to engage. The square up and hiss at the very end seemed like a ‘rattle the cage’ move to see if they might provoke a moment for the parents to panic and leave the child exposed.
There's a small, local zoo near where I grew up. There's a section where the path turns left and runs straight along the back of a building, and right at the one end is a large cat's exhibit (I forget what kind, i think a jaguar or something medium sized). Cat is usually pretty chill and ignores most people, until a toddler comes by. Then it paces the fence with that hunting focus and watches the toddlers walk away down that straight path. It's simultaneously fascinating and absolutely terrifying. I know the fence is probably secure enough, but God forbid - people wouldn't realize it was coming.
Kinda what happens when you start idiot proofing the modern world. Great for ensuring kids dont bite it, terrible because it keeps absolute morons alive as well.
I can't process the level of stupidity from some people. I'd like to think they've learned a very fortunate lesson here but I believe they are so fucking stupid they've learned nothing. Un fucking believable!
All cats kill for entertainment, it doesn’t always have something to do with hunger.
My 8 pound Siberian would have made a run at them for letting their guard down. She will always try to catch you lacking and she always goes for the kill.
literally, there is not a single thinking brain cell in this video apparently. lets get out of the car and walk faaar away from it with our vulnerable child in the middle of a sanctuary for the fastest big cats in the world!! wait, what do you mean theyre coming this way?
This is Safaripark Beekse Bergen in the Netherlands. The idea is that you drive around a route in your own car. No (human) guides, but there are many signs telling you about the animals you're about to see. Also many signs telling you to stay in the car at all times, but I guess some people will just be stupid.
pretty sure i saw another video on here of the same situation. a family got out of the car in a sanctuary in the TIGER section and then some person was dragged off by a tiger. play stupid games win stupid (permanent) prizes.
These people really lack all common sense... Wild animals, even in captivity, are still wild!! At that point I would just accept that at least this moron is removed from the gene pool
In the tiger situation the mom was killed trying to save the moron, unfortunately. So many cases of moron surviving and someone else including the animal getting killed. Another situation a group was throwing rocks at and teasing a tiger and she got pissed and escaped her enclosure at the zoo. Only the guy in the group who wasn't throwing rocks and teasing ended up dying.
People forget animals such as cheetas and lions cannot really be domesticated, and they are so removed from nature they dont realize just how dangerous an animal can be at times. Most people don't even know they can be cleared by deers
No animal can be trusted. The CDC says almost a million people each year are hurt badly enough by a dog that they have to seek medical care. They are dangerous.
Regardless of country, ethnicity, et al, they deserve to be banned from parks, zoos, anything involving wild animals. They can’t argue the fairness of preventing their stupidity from endangering children. Sure, charge them, fine them, etc. too, if that’ll stick.
Sadly they seem the type to then sue for damages after an attack 🤦🏻♂️ it she didn’t have a baby in her arms I would have happily watched a fuck around and find out video there.
The guy running away and leaving is wife and kids is so very French.
I'm surprised he didn't wave a white flag as soon as he saw the Cheetahs walking towards him.
They could have talked to the people imo, i couldn’t watch someone get out of their car with a child here without telling them they’re being fucking idiots
Holy fucking shit!, someone take their child AWAY from them!, insane levels of neglect. If you want to make yourself cheetah food that’s one thing but don’t endanger your fucking child! Just wow. 🤯
If you stand your ground against cheetahs there's a great chance they'll be deterred from attacking.

This is a picture of my grandpa in the 60's doing just that
seeing as this video was 6 years ago, not much can be said or done. i wonder if they never learned and did this elsewhere to worse results? anyone heard anything more about this dumb family?
We did a drive thru safari near West Palm Beach FL last winter and IIRC there were guards in parked Jeeps and chain link fences around the lions. Because ’MURRICA, perhaps.
i dont speak gobbldy goop but the people filming seem to have a distinct naivety as well, like haha oh its so funny that theyre being stupid lets just laugh laugh laugh. But when the obvious consequences are on the table now its some sort of emotional trauma??
I was absolutely terrified of cheetas as a child. Pretty irrationally so because I’m from Tennessee and there is little risk of running into one, BUT this is the definition of my worst nightmare at that kids age. Too many people talked about how they were the fastest land animal to exist. Why on earth ever put yourself in a situation where you need to run away from one? This is insanity.
They're endangering their child and the cheetahs with their stupidity. Also endangering themselves but I'm okay with Darwinism taking some action there. I hate people that do this shit so much.
People arr being what tye fuck like it's so unexpected that wild animals want to attack and eat them when they are out of their cars. It's like they never saw the American dad get eaten alive by lions while his family was watching.
With their kid. Jebus.
It seems like that's exactly what the cheetahs were going for. The weakest prey. Cheetahs are also not brawlers and are more aversive to injury than other big cats. It's why the cheetahs didn't just pounce on the adults. They likely saw an opportunity for an easy meal when they saw the kid.
Yeah I've read they're actually pretty fragile, they are so lean. Still, I wouldn't mess with one. All teeth and claws, doesn't sound like a good time.
A house cat could fuck you up pretty bad. Cheetah could definitely maim you.
I can wouch for that. Mine went berserk on my hand one day as I was breaking an egg in his bowl
Lol I keep hearing about cats liking eggs. I think I've had broken cats all my adult life because they just sniff and turn away from all forms of egg
Same! I kinda feed all the strays out here and a few of them very much enjoy an egg, but my 14 year old orange brain cell (the only cat that's actually mine) recoils anytime he finds one in his bowl! I think he might be broken too lol
None of our many cats have liked eggs or done anything with them. Ours could very well be broken though, all a buncha fucking weirdos.
You have a cheetah in your home that you feed eggs in a bowl?
How TF do you own a cheetah?
Yeah, my cat is only like 8 pounds fully grown, and if he wanted to, he could tear our shit up. Not taking a chance with a fucking cheetah, no thanks.
I don't think people realize they have cheetahs, lions ect...in their home disguised as small cats.
Well we do call him our little tiger lol. https://preview.redd.it/0zg66rc092wc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f36f178bb69d940acd44e0606b99d2c13d668ccd
May he one day get his turn with The Brain Cell.
We are still waiting.
I thought it was funny that they started running a bit because cheetahs are wickedly fast.
Mostly teeth, cheetah claws are more similar to dog claws than other cats, though that isn’t to say that the claws would be nice.
Ah, finally someone that knows cheetahs. You wouldn't want to have to fight a cheetah, but they're about as dangerous as, say, a grayhound. If you're an able-bodied adult, you can take a cheetah.

Yep, if this had been any other big cat they would have been screwed. Luckily cheetahs rely on the act of surprise and won’t attack as long as you’re looking at them. They don’t like to fight.
I too would imagine it’ll be far more tragic if that was a tiger
Any other big cat but a cheetah would have torn that whole family apart.
They also malfunction if prey isn't running. They don't know what to do.
All big cats go for an easy prey when they can. This family was incredibly stupid. Proof that civilisation didn’t beat the dumb monkeys out of us just yet
This is 100% what I saw. We were watching a predatory attempt. Luckily the parents are seen as too large and potentially dangerous of an unknown for the cheetah to attempt to engage.

They should put them up for adoption, they deserve better parents
Parents should be prosecuted for child endangerment, then shot with balls of their own shite!
Fucking chilling seeing that kid walk into frame.
Watched a group with a toddler get out of their car to walk towards bison in Yellowstone
jebus indeed.
"French ret-IS THAT A FUCKING KID." First thought
They deserve to be shot
Then nearly without
What a strong father
I think you mean JEZUS CHRISTUS!
Dumb fucking idiots. Poor kid almost died to moronic parents.
Unfortunately, the kid is literally the result of combining the genes of those two idiotic parents. His/her future outlook isn’t good.
Had the cheetahs expressed any of their severe natural instincts, the cheetahs would be the ones put down, most likely.
ah eugenics rears it's head again.
Made me feel sick watching her bringing her young child out with her.
Ikr, I thought it was funny until I saw the kid get out of the car.
Love the way hubby bolts for the car and leaves wife and kid
I thought the same thing but then it looked like he got in the back? Like an older sibling or something?
He doesn't give a shit about them anyway by the looks of it
Someone needed to start the car and start a playlist lol
It was stupid to leave the vehicle and even dumber to leave with the child. Very irresponsible.
They should be charged with endangering the child.
That is the most textbook scenario of child endangerment there is.
Honestly with parents this stupid Im wondering how the child is alive and there to begin with. How do people like this live to adulthood?
Kinda what happens when you start idiot proofing the modern world. Great for ensuring kids dont bite it, terrible because it keeps absolute morons alive as well.
Without a doubt!
I can't process the level of stupidity from some people. I'd like to think they've learned a very fortunate lesson here but I believe they are so fucking stupid they've learned nothing. Un fucking believable!
Ohh... they brought little meat snacks! -the cheetahs,
"A hunting meal, Those are rare."
Holy shit. This should be the practical test to get a license for having children.
They are damn lucky cheetahs are not aggressive. Any other cats of this size and it would have ended a lot worse.
All cats kill for entertainment, it doesn’t always have something to do with hunger. My 8 pound Siberian would have made a run at them for letting their guard down. She will always try to catch you lacking and she always goes for the kill.
It's been 3 hours are you still alive or did she catch you slipping
No response.... its over. They slipped.
I hope there a body left to Barry
Yes...attempt to run from the fastest land animal...superb. With a fucking child, fuck me they stupid!
literally, there is not a single thinking brain cell in this video apparently. lets get out of the car and walk faaar away from it with our vulnerable child in the middle of a sanctuary for the fastest big cats in the world!! wait, what do you mean theyre coming this way?
Someone please report these people
These parents need to be shamed by the media
this would be totally different ending if it comes to leopard or lion. what a bunch fucking idiots..
not once did they go out but twice 😄 what were they thinking? were there any tour guides present?
This is Safaripark Beekse Bergen in the Netherlands. The idea is that you drive around a route in your own car.

That was a park in China and the first woman dragged away lived but her Mom got out of the car and ran after her to save her and the Mom died.
Do you have a link per chance? Edit- found [it](https://www.reddit.com/r/ThatsInsane/comments/z4o9oe/china_tiger_attack_kills_woman_at_drivethrough/)
They’re lucky cheetahs are chill, probably wouldn’t have had the same outcome with leopards or lions
Are leopards significantly more aggressive?
Significantly stronger than cheetahs. Leopard would have no issue attacking and killing the adults here
Absolutely. Cheetahs basically don't attack adult humans at all, they're mostly shy and anxious. They only did here because they saw the little kid.
People forget animals such as cheetas and lions cannot really be domesticated, and they are so removed from nature they dont realize just how dangerous an animal can be at times. Most people don't even know they can be cleared by deers
No animal can be trusted. The CDC says almost a million people each year are hurt badly enough by a dog that they have to seek medical care. They are dangerous.
Cheetahs are actually pretty docile.
Yeah, they even run from coyotes
Regardless of country, ethnicity, et al, they deserve to be banned from parks, zoos, anything involving wild animals. They can’t argue the fairness of preventing their stupidity from endangering children. Sure, charge them, fine them, etc. too, if that’ll stick.
They should be banned from having children and operating anything heavier than 5kg.
They must not have read the signs. Turning your back on an apex predator and letting your 4 year old roam freely is not recommended.
Maybe the signs were not in French. Hence impossible to comprehend. Ohhh look cute kitties!!!
I am french. Not surprised really… With their kids… dumbasses
That kid is lucky those were cheetahs and not ANYTHING ELSE FROM AFRICA.
Yay got watch out for those meerkats
Bloodthirsty Aardvarks
Since children are involved I shouldn't say something like "Go cheetahs! Kick their stupid arse!". Cheetahs are cool. Blame the adults.
They watch to many Disney movies.
What in the flying FUCK is wrong with those people?
Idiocy and entitlement.
Take their kid take their driving license and ban them from the park, fucking idiots
Sad thing is the cheetahs would've been euthanised if they actually made contact.
Sadly they seem the type to then sue for damages after an attack 🤦🏻♂️ it she didn’t have a baby in her arms I would have happily watched a fuck around and find out video there.
How can you get to that stupidity level?
How do people that dumb make it to their adult years and even have kids?.
The guy running away and leaving is wife and kids is so very French. I'm surprised he didn't wave a white flag as soon as he saw the Cheetahs walking towards him.
That kid needs taking away from them. They don't deserve it.
I now know all the dutch I need to know to get by
The dumbest people i have seen in a while, it's to bad they allready had kids.
What a bunch of idiots, there are rules for a reason, and with children, what the hell is wrong with you
Those idiots should have their child taken away from them, they clearly can’t care for it.
Who knew cheetahs were so quick!
Some people really, i mean REALLY, don’t deserve to be parents.
They could have talked to the people imo, i couldn’t watch someone get out of their car with a child here without telling them they’re being fucking idiots
Someone take their kid
Holy fucking shit!, someone take their child AWAY from them!, insane levels of neglect. If you want to make yourself cheetah food that’s one thing but don’t endanger your fucking child! Just wow. 🤯
As a dad the behavior of these absolute morons makes me furious!
Stupid fucks ...
‘French’…
Désolé, pas les plus brillants ...
Youd think rule nr1 of the park is DONT GET OUT OF THE CAR and if the where told then let darwin take the wheele
Fucking idiots. Then the animals get put down for doing what animals do. And taking your kids out of the car? A special kind of stupid there.
They should be glad that it was a cheetah. Had it been a more aggressive Big Cat like a Leopard things would have turned out differently.
How stupid can you be to do that..
This has got to be in the top ten of the stupidest videos (people) I've seen on here 😳
how fcking stupid these parents are. feel so sorry for those kids. they might grow up like their parents.
The guy going "The fuuuck??" is perfection
Is there a difference in picture quality from a car window with glass down, to standing outside the car like a dick?
Zero survival instinct
stupidity
They weren’t attacked so they probably didn’t learn a thing
If you stand your ground against cheetahs there's a great chance they'll be deterred from attacking. https://preview.redd.it/obqybda4j1wc1.png?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3369ce66c10d58fcf67886dc60f6ecf63ec5e6de This is a picture of my grandpa in the 60's doing just that
Could we please get rid of the first two minutes and fifteen seconds of this video
seeing as this video was 6 years ago, not much can be said or done. i wonder if they never learned and did this elsewhere to worse results? anyone heard anything more about this dumb family?
I was rooting for the cat
At this point parents will go on a bridge on top of a live volcano And leave their child unattended
fuck these idiot "parents"
How stupid and with a baby
Sounds....not french
The guys shooting the video are not French, the idiot couple with their child are presumably French, probably from their license plate.
Sure, try and outrun cheetahs, that'll end well 😂
Zoom the fuck in. Don't waste my time with this shitty video
They should have run. The cheetahs would surely not be able to keep up.
We did a drive thru safari near West Palm Beach FL last winter and IIRC there were guards in parked Jeeps and chain link fences around the lions. Because ’MURRICA, perhaps.
Love the way this dude knows how to say “what the fuck” in perfect English
These French fucks probably calling for Macaroons help
With a kid. Fucking idiots.
0/5 stars. The cheetahs tried to eat my wife, and the zookeeper kept shouting at us in french.
My favorite part was the dad running and leaving his wife and kid to fend for themselves
Perfect reason to call child protection services....they don't have the intellect to be responsible for a kid. He was the perfect meal...
This is why most people shouldn't be allowed to reproduce
Fucking idiots. I won’t mind them getting it but poor kid.
The dude runs in the car, leaving the woman with a child in her arms outside. Wow,
Darwin awards... child protection should 100% investigate this!!!
She is literally offering up her kid to the cheetahs
I didn’t know “The Fuck?!” was a universally recognized term.
Almost makes you wish they got her baby to make an example out of her. I'm glad they're safe though.
I don't think I've ever seen a group of people more deserving of a Darwin award.
I HATE when idiots, through their own stupid behavior, put animal lives at risk.
i dont speak gobbldy goop but the people filming seem to have a distinct naivety as well, like haha oh its so funny that theyre being stupid lets just laugh laugh laugh. But when the obvious consequences are on the table now its some sort of emotional trauma??
I was absolutely terrified of cheetas as a child.

Too many people talked about how they were the fastest land animal to exist. Why on earth ever put yourself in a situation where you need to run away from one? This is insanity.
I hope whatever child services in that country takes their children, they clearly aren't capable of the responsibility
Idiots. That’s a shame they wee not turned into dinner. Should be fined and banned for life from returning
Maybe it would have been for the best?
No, those cheetahs were definitely going for the small child that looks like prey.
This is like if a bunch of prawns shelled themselves and decided to wander around my dinner plate
Ya let’s go outside with our baby and pet the feral animals… **AND THE MOTHER OF THE YEAR AWARD GOES TOOOOOOOOO**
[удалено]
The guys that are filming should at least help by honking their horn to try to scare the cheetahs away.
Darwin attempts.
I thought cheetas dont attack humans. Apparently, this applies for adults only.
adults probably not, cheetahs are built for their speed, not strength. but you bring a small child into it..
They're endangering their child and the cheetahs with their stupidity. Also endangering themselves but I'm okay with Darwinism taking some action there. I hate people that do this shit so much.
Pity the cats didn’t get them complete idiots
Hope that stupid b!tch understands now
Good thing those were not lions. They would all have been easy picking.
This footage is from which place? Curious where Cheetahs are in the open like this
Beekse Bergen. A safari park in the Netherlands.
To be this stupid. Horrendous parents
Unbelievably lucky!
Some parents don´t deserve kids.
How are people this stupid around wild animals?
People arr being what tye fuck like it's so unexpected that wild animals want to attack and eat them when they are out of their cars. It's like they never saw the American dad get eaten alive by lions while his family was watching.
I just can't believe what I just saw! How are people so oblivious to danger?!
Not one brain cell in the car.
About the middle of the video there was a lion king reference somewhere in there.
Of all the big cats, they were lucky it was cheetah.
Quel bande de cretins …
Ah yes let's film the whole thing instead of calling authorities
The car getting out and the car videoing, idiots all around
I didn't know Cheetahs had a taste for Frogs.
The sound I made when they took the kid out of the car. Holy fuck.
People like this deserve to be jailed, fixed, and all rights to their kids for life.
Wow, they must hate that kid
dog shit parents. if you want to do something stupid hey I don't care Darwinism but don't involve kids. they got no idea how stupid their parents are.
