Man Reports Cheetah Chilling In US Woods, But It Turned Out To Be A Stuffed Toy

It is pretty common for people to mistake stuffed toys for real animals and something just like that took place recently in USA. It happened in the Multnomah County of Oregon.

There was a report of a big cat sitting there. From the description, it was apparently a cheetah. It did not seem threatening, as per reports.

Deputy Sullivan approached cautiously and it was only when he came really close that he realised it was not real.

On the way, he had got in touch with the Oregon Zoo to check if any cheetahs had escaped as this is not their natural habitat.

¡°I used my ninja-like skills to sneak up on the beast. I used my ninja-like skills to sneak up on the beast. Of course, it sat there dumbfounded that I was able to get so close for a couple of photos. Turns out it was a stuffed animal!¡± he said.

While one does see the funny side of it, imagine if it had been a real big cat. The place would have been in panic mode.

Keeping in mind the humour, this is what they released:

One should avoid leaving food and garbage outside, as animals are already stuffed.

Pets should be kept indoors at dawn and dusk, shelter them for the night.

Pets should be walked during the day and kept them on a leash, they may not respond by name.

One should not leave valuables unsecured as this could attract thieves during the holiday season.

People should remove heavy brush from near the house and play areas, this species may attract small pets and children.

Everyone should install motion-activated light outdoors along walkways and driveways, it would be quite the headline if they moved.
