Some cheetahs of the Masai Mara National Reserve lost fear of vehicles in the course of time and generations.
They use them sometimes as viewpoint while watching prey.
Though these are wild cheetahs, there is no danger for man, as long as he keeps quiet and is not trying to touch the wild cat.

Long lenses (here a 600 mm 4.0) make it possible to stay far away from the animals, in order not to disturb them.
