Petrified woman screams while being attacked by cheetah
Updated | By Jane Linley-Thomas
Scary! This cheetah got a bit too personal with a tourist.
Gosh, just watching this makes me want to yelp. Can you imagine the sheer panic as this cheetah launched itself?!
According to Mirror, this Chinese student got a bit too close to a cheetah while visiting the Emdoneni Lodge Safari Park. In the video you can see the moment that the big cat pushes her over and tries to bite her. The tourist, Peggy Lio, clings tightly to the Park's staff member. Luckily, after the attack, she didn't need any treatment but things could have ended pretty badly for her.

As a sidenote, how's the guy in the blue in the video? He just stands around with his arms folded and doesn't attempt to help the woman!
