Friendship is a term used among humans but animals have been redefining its meaning every now and then. Our pets define friendship for most of us but what about wild animals? We all have heard stories of the wild becoming companions with humans but could it be because they don’t have anywhere else to go? It could also be as they’ve never been with their kind, born and brought up under human care might have made them behave the way that they do.

Today we’ve picked up the astonishing story of one of the wildest creatures and you’ll be amused to know what makes it different from rest of them.

A Zoologist

Dolph C. Volker, a 50-year-old zoologist is a native American. Dolph loves animals and that was the reason for him to choose zoology as his field of interest. When we tell you about his life that he chose for himself just because of his passion for wildlife, you’ll be able to understand his dedication towards his work in a better way.

A Choice Of Life

Dolph has been working as a volunteer at the Cheetah Experience Breeding Centre, Bloemfontein, South Africa for more than 4 years now. From the day he started volunteering in South Africa, he has managed to move back and forth between the two continents in weeks’ intervals or even months’ intervals, depending on the requirement.

Gabriel, The Cheetah

The Cheetah Experience Breeding Centre brought in an 8-months-old Cheetah in their observation. The cub was found abandoned in the jungle due to unknown reasons and the zoologists named him as ‘Gabriel’. They nurtured him so that he could grow and soon join other cheetahs in the jungle. However, Gabriel was different from other wild animals living in that shelter.
