Now, the old video of him cuddling with two cheetahs while sleeping is going viral again. On Monday, the video had more than 17 million views on YouTube.

“Do cheetahs prefer cold concrete or warm blankets and companionship? These captive cheetahs were bred and born at cheetah breeding centers in South Africa, one at the Cheetah Experience. All are quite tame as they are groomed for the breeding program, so when they have cubs, they can be monitored closely,” he mentioned in the caption.
