Today, the animal trainer and behaviorist shows our Samantha Harris how to pet his spotted friend with a firm touch -- as long as he is purring.
"That is a good sound," Brandon says. "A good thing about a big cat, they will let you know when they are mad."
Victor weighs between 120-125 pounds and Brandon tells Samantha, "A cheetah can not take down the same size game as a leopard, but the cheetah has an advantage -- it has the speed. A cheetah can burst 70 miles per hour in about three seconds. That is faster than most sports cars. A leopard, however, has the power in its jaws to drag an animal up a tree.
"Another really interesting thing about a cheetah is that it doesn't have retractable claws. It is the only cat without retractable claws. It is more like a dog."
For more "Wild Animal Week," check out tonight's "The Insider." Then catch Brandon on his Animal Planet series, "Night."
