Cheetah Man

[45:32]

Olivier Houalet – whose looks are reminiscent of Tarzan – is just 27-years-old and had no specialist training in animal behaviour when he came to live in Namibia. But Olivier has developed an amazing affinity with the Big Cats there. He has developed a unique approach to working with the cheetahs, in particular, by adopting their body language and mannerisms, becoming part of the pack, allowing him to offer amazing insights into how cheetahs behave and the fascinating social rules that operate among them. Now Olivier is about to embark on an emotional journey to release them back into the wild, a journey he is passionate about, even if it leads to their deaths.
