Gabriel The Cheetah Offered African Delicacy | Mopani Worm Caterpillar Insect Larvae Protein

[@meloneyparker]

The bureaucrats suggesting we eat bugs will not need their own advice. I don't blame you, Gabriel.

[@feeberizer]

I love hearing Gabriel purrrr. He continues even when it's obvious he's thinking "Why are you throwing those nasty bugs at me?" 😹

[@CheetahWhisperer]

Yup! I'm glad he allows some of my antics to entertain him and myself.

[@clicheguevara5282]

Gabriel always seems so happy and content. I never get tired of seeing him.

[@CheetahWhisperer]

Gabe's Really cool! He enjoys a meet and great about 98% of the time.

[@clicheguevara5282]

@@CheetahWhisperer I can tell. He _always_ seems happy to just simply have company. His friendly personality is so apparent. He reminds me A LOT of my cat, Sushi. If she’s near someone, she’s as happy as can be.

[@gerharddeusser9103]

I admire Gabriel's patience..... He "said" no several times......

[@The_Keeper]

Yup, and his last "no" was more like; "For the last time, no. But, keep it up and I *will* be biting into something."

[@CheetahWhisperer]

Yup... Gabriel had his tolerances to things that annoy him. Warns you 1st in most instances. I try and entertain him and try new things. He didn't like this. Not into boxes and paper like smaller cats and leopards are.

[@michaelrutledge7048]

Gabriel: Sorry, Dad… I'm a cheetah, I want fresh bloody meat!! Actually, I recall my Uncle Bill telling how he was reduced to eating live caterpillars (large) to survive when he was in Burma during WW2.

[@nonusbusinissus5632]

Its how your brain works. The hungrier you get, the more restraints it lifts and in the end stage you'd eat almost anything. The phenomena is documented and has an actual scientific name, which i cant recall right now. Still, there is not much about the insect craze. The world's billionaires came together in davos and decreed that henceforth humanity should be handled as animals, sleeping in pods, eating worms while they (in classic fashion) retain their entire quality of life cause they are the great leaders. We have been here a few times during history. It never went well for these wannabe revolutionaires.

[@ElleW415]

How did they taste?

[@KCdurt]

Seems like a cool, happy kitty! Thanks for all you do, and for bringing us along to see!

[@jonthurlow1433]

One time when I was 9 I was running through the pasture on our dairy farm and fell chest first right on a fresh pile of manure spraying it everywhere including up my nose and in my mouth. I think I'd rather have the manure over a caterpillar.

[@KudaKeileon]

I will not eat the bugs. Apparently neither will Gabriel.

[@CheetahWhisperer]

Nope... nope... nope.

[@alainaaugust1932]

I agree with Gabriel. Smart cheetah not only rejected the offer she paraded off well away from it. On the way I’m sure I heard her purr “Urgh! Do I have to teach these humans everything?! Even how to eat!?”

[@CheetahWhisperer]

Gabriel even tried stopping from eating one. Got up and rushed to me just before I ate one... shoulda listened... 🤢

[@elleni-41]

[@deandewilde4658]

Thank you, Dolph, for all the great videos. You’re the only KZbinr whose every single video I've truly enjoyed. You saved me from a lot of boredom throughout the past year. I always enjoyed the videos with you Gabriel, Abigale, Kimya, Kayzer, James, Kiki, Joyce, Aurora, Fushan, and all the other animals I’ve seen on your channel. I am excited to see the grand entrance of the new cubs on your channel and see what kind of personalities they have. I've yet to find a video on your channel that I didn’t like. Even though you have a job besides KZbin, you still find time to make and edit all these amazing videos. They’re so great that even my family loves watching them. You deserve so much more recognition for what you’re doing. You care for the animals, educate people about them, make a joke every now and then, and always provide new facts about animals that I didn’t know. I’ve learned so much just by watching your videos and reading your replies to my comments. I even used that new learned knowledge in school. Once, there was a question, “How do cat species have such good night vision?” and I remembered from one of your videos that you said it’s because of reflecting cells in the back of their eyes, and that’s why their eyes glow when you shine a light at them in the dark. What’s truly amazing about you is that despite making videos and editing them, having a job, and everything else, you still find time to reply to almost every single comment on your videos. It’s just impressive how you do it. I hope that one day, when you hopefully have a cheetah sanctuary somewhere in South Africa or a different country, after I’ve graduated and sorted out other stuff, that i can move to the country you’re based in and apply for a job at your sanctuary. It would be wonderful to do somthing in return for the amazing content youve given me and to help out the endangered species there. Every time I open my phone after ive asked a question about somthing and see you’ve replied i get exited because i get to learn somthing new again you always have an amazing way of explaining difficult stuff in an easy way your so good at it that my cat could understand it. I wish you a great rest of your day and hope that everything goes well for you Again, thank you for nearly one year of amazing content and nice replies. The one-year anniversary of me finding your KZbin channel isn’t until the 29th of May, but I just wanted to post this now in case I forget to do it. This is just a thank you for being my main source of entertainment for the past year, for answering my questions, and for having small conversations. Your passion and love for these animals are evident in every reply its amazing that you can express so mutch love and passion trough a comment for animals. But enough writing for now. I think this is enough text for just one comment, so I’ll see you later in the comment section of another video. Who knows, maybe someday in the future, I’ll finally meet you in real life.

[@CheetahWhisperer]

You and some others Really got into the big cat interest and cheetahs. I'm glad. My channel had morphed as much as my followers. Now I realize I am an educator and an entertainer showing the true nature of cheetahs and revealing what I've discovered. Glad I can inspire folks about conservation and keeping our species on this planet alive. Much more to come... almost finished with Abis Cubs (2) video. A staffer is sending me more clips to add to it.

[@deandewilde4658]

@@CheetahWhisperer you sure did inspire me i dont think i wouldve found my love for animals like i do right now if i dident find your youtube channel i always said i wanted to join the military but i always was a bit hasitant and last year when i started watching your video's and later found other poeple too like dean schneider kevin richardson and four paws that i realised that i wanted to do that to to help animals by saving them from poachers and traps set by poachers and juet save ad many endangered species as i can i hope i can achieve my dream one day and ill do my verry best to try and achieve it and in the meantime i can still learn many more things from you and all other poeple on this platform

[@theinspectah3438]

Nice, deep purring ))

[@CheetahWhisperer]

Gabe purred the most I've heard in awhile without him grooming me. It was nice.

[@lambchop206]

Gabriel is smart! LOL

[@CheetahWhisperer]

Yup! He knew before I filmed this that eating sun dried insects is NOT a thing.

[@NurkePL]

Gabriel was not impressed with his grub, I guess you werent either

[@CheetahWhisperer]

Yep... only if I was starving in the wilderness.

[@The_Keeper]

While Gabirel and other big cats won't eat it, insect protein could be a very good way to make cat-food quite a bit more environmentally friendly. As long as they make it smell strongly enough, cats would eat it.

[@CheetahWhisperer]

Probably would eat it. The smaller cats 🐈 chase them and eat it. Had a large lab that went crazy catching flies against the window and eating them.

[@balsarmy]

I don't like current animal farms and try to choose fish, never meat, maybe chicken. But I won't eat bugs

[@rayclark9643]

Ha, Ha Gabriel feels the same way as I do about eating Caterpillars no way man !!!🤣🤣🤣

[@CheetahWhisperer]

Yup, the cheetah knows...

[@I.ravi7]

Sir you must visit India once because you are a cheetah specialist and you can guide well treatment as well as recommended food to Indian cheetah organisers. I know this is not your work but if you will come then it will be beneficial for cheetahs next generation in India.

[@CheetahWhisperer]

I really pray for the success of the India Cheetah research and introduction project. I agree they need help. It can't be me as I have my own rewilding project. They risk ending the program due to the deaths and failures.

Yuk those bugs look nasty i understand gabriel i wouldnt want those bugs too and i just cant get enough of gabriels purr its so calming and soothing hes just the best cheetah to ever live i hope you and gabriel ate doing wonderfull have a great day!

[@CheetahWhisperer]

Gabriel knew better than to eat a caterpillar. But still purred about it the entire time. Tried stopping me from eating one. Got up and came to me! That is what one commenter said. Thought it was funny.

[@deandewilde4658]

@@CheetahWhisperer gabriel wanted to save you from the nasty taste of the caterpillar😂

[@margueritelouisearmont7409]

So, do you WANT to continue to annoy a full grown Cheetah with these preserved worms that the Cheetah obviously DOESN'T want to eat? The Cheetah moved away and STILL was purring. That, right there, is about the politest way any big cat is going to tell you "dude, just GET AWAY FROM ME WITH THOSE DISGUSTING THINGS". I'm just surprised that Gabriel didn't try to take a swipe at you.

[@CheetahWhisperer]

Gabe and I are decent friends and have known each other for 10 years. We both have tolerances to things and have learned from each other, but always learning. He's slapped before, but for non-common sensical things like stopping him from grooming me. But also slaps from getting annoyed too. Whatever makes him annoyed. But, he's quite adorable most times and enjoys my visits. No one else can do visit him like I do, or willing due to his catitude sometimes.

[@victoryT_T]

Gabriel doesn't have to fix humanity's mistakes :)

[@CheetahWhisperer]

Yup... annoyed by my attempts. His face after the grumble was so revealing and funny. He'd probably growl and swat me if I was closer. I don't intend to annoy him but we humans and cheetahs see things differently. Something entertaining to me can be annoyong to them.

[@petefury94]

Mopane, mo'gain

[@my-chemical-romance]

I'm curious what he would think of slim jims or beef jerky

[@CheetahWhisperer]

He'd probably eat that for sure. Too salty with preservatives, so would not let him have one. He'd get diarrhea.

How old is Gabriel and does he have any cubs?

[@CheetahWhisperer]

Thanks for asking! Gabe's is 10 years old now. Cheetahs in good health, good living, food, water, low stress, and good genes in captivity can live anywhere from 15-20 years in good health. Pray he makes it to the latter.

[@JNoMooreNumbers]

Eat bugs. I don't think so. Crazy sociopaths want us too.🥴Gabe says that's for the birds. He'd probably eat jerky first.

[@CheetahWhisperer]

Yep... Gabriel had something to say the the Davos folks at the end. A grumbling annoyance.

[@tarakivu8861]

I mean we are simply not used to it. They can easily be grown with little space usage, but i dont expect them to be eaten as-is in the western market, but rather used to enhance other products by using insect protein instead of plant or meat while keeping their nutitional value.

[@JNoMooreNumbers]

@@tarakivu8861 🤮

[@CMDRSweeper]

Now I wonder, would Gabriel eat fish if given the choice? I heard stories of lions disliking it, but ate it when that was their only choice and they got hungry. So perhaps try Gabriel on some sort of traditional fish, and then tuna as a backup? The latter is reach in umami taste, that at least house cats are super sensitive to.

[@CheetahWhisperer]

I've recorded a "What will a cheetah eat" video but have not posted it. It was not good from a production standpoint. Angles all wrong and camera issues. I may try it again. had about 10 different foods to choose from... some that a cheetah might come across in the wild and some just comical, like a fish and eggs.

[@CMDRSweeper]

@@CheetahWhisperer Indeed that would be interesting, as for eggs, Kevin Richardson actually has the lion's eating hard boiled eggs so that may work quite well as a "benchmark" cheetah vs lion :D
