Unfortunately for the cheetah, the camera isn't all that into him

Cheetahs might be some of the world's fastest runners but, as it turns out, delivering the perfect smooch is by no means something they excel at.

The video above was posted online a few days ago, and it did not take long for it to go viral.

Apparently, it was shot with a camera belonging to a Matthew Copham, who now works as a private guide for Safari Footprints.

All Matthew had to do to get these really cool images of the inside of a cheetah's mouth was to abandon his camera for a few minutes in the African bush, and wait for it to get the feline's attention.

Probably because he isn't a brute, the cheetah first rubs his nose against the camera. Seconds later, it gives it one big, sloppy kiss. Unfortunately for the feline, the camera isn't all that into him. Hence the fact that it does not respond to the smooch.

Hurt, and probably confused about what he did wrong, the cheetah makes a quick getaway. Well, better luck next time!
