@owen.swart8: Zorro demanding his breakfast. Cheetah cubs have a high pitched vocalisation called a "chirp". It's very distinctive and loud enough for cheetah-mom to hear it up to 3km away. But it sounds like a bird, acting as a kind of auditory camouflage so other large predators don't recognise it. When they reach adulthood and their voices break, the chirp sounds more like a domestic cat's meow. #cheetah
