    You couldn't even beat a Impala with your bare hands. In general animals are much much stronger than we are.

    My wife and I make many trips to the jungle looking for cool animals (we are both biologist) and we alwas joke that if one of us is attacked by an animal that the other one would make pictures (since we really love cool animal photo's)

    Yes, there is, and the reason was the first men were smart enough to stay away from these predators or fight them with help from weapons or friends.

    If you were the first man, human would have been extinct. :grin:

    FWIW Cheetahs are easily domesticated.

    I have seen the cheetah care takers from the Houston Zoo walk the cheetahs on leashes. After one of the cheetahs were released from its leash, he nuzzled the care takers hand like a domesticated house cat.

    You can't domesticate wild cats, they are just actin this way because they are fed and know that care taker because he feeds them daily. If they are in the wrong mood or hungry they'd still attack him.

    Yeah, I've also seen 'domesticated' lions, tigers, bears (oh my), and marine animals rip apart their owner or trainers (either on purpose or by accident). YOU CANNOT domesticate a wild animal 100%. Their instincts, intuitions, hormones, and desire to protect their young are too strong for any sort of domestication process.

    Man, I don't even trust "domesticated" house cats. Ours are nuts, and they can flip out at a moment's notice.

    Dogs are worse, when they flip out they do real damage.

    You always hear on the news:
    I don't know what happened, he's never done anything like that before.

    Ha ya, I have a 90 pound dog and my roommate has a 10 pound cat. The cat has hurt me many more times than my dog. It thinks it's playing when it sticks its razor sharp claws into my chest.

    make sure children or you do not run away from them, thta triggers a primal hunting instinct, and they will attack you.

    Most animals can be domesticated up until a certain point. And when that instinct kicks in you are are in trouble.
