He lives with five cheetahs in Africa and even teaches cheetahs how to hunt

What kind of experience is living in the wild with animals?

In 1999, Olivier Houalet, an 18-year-old Frenchman, left Paris with his father and came to live in Namibia in Africa.

Today Olivier Varey.

This is home to many wild animals, some of which are rare and endangered species. Elephants, rhinoceroses and giraffes wander slowly here. Wildebeests and antelopes gallop here. Cheetahs and sea eagles are waiting for their time.

A wide range of wild animals has also attracted poachers. Among them, illegal trade in ivory and horns is the most rampant. Other wild animals have also suffered a lot. In the grasslands, it is not hard to see the young cubs who have been difficult to survive because their parents have been hunted by humans.

Olivier Varey lived on such an ancient wild and modern cruel land, and worked for the local Cheetah Conservation Foundation.

At the age of 24, Olivier received a new job assigned to him by the foundation to look after five abandoned cheetahs - their mothers were shot dead by poachers.

The cheetahs typically complete the change of teeth at eight months of age and follow their mother’s skills of sneaking and hunting in the following 10 months. The five cheetahs received by Olivier have not yet experienced this stage.

Olivier named the five cheetahs and made a decision that normal people would not be able to make: He wants to live with them.

It is hard to live with the cheetah. These cheetahs sometimes attack him. But Olivier believes that paying these costs is very small compared with the value of these things.

Olivier said, "I had to think like these cheetahs. In order to enter their world, I had to be like them."

In the process of communicating with wildlife, eye contact is very important. Olivier said: "Through your eyes, they will feel what you mean. If you can show strength and respect in your eyes, they will slowly accept you."

In this way, Olivier Varley became their new mother and teacher. He let the five young leopards from different families join him in the formation of a new family and live with them in the wild.

Olivier believes that in this way, they can not only survive in the wilderness like other wild animals, but at the same time, he can follow them and help them until they learn to take care of themselves.

Olivier was also very proud to be a member of this animal family: "If they call their name, they will come to me. This is very special. People generally control animals only through drugs or using a stick to scare. Drive them away and I am part of this group.

He said: "I believe we can teach them the skills to survive. I also know that they will not all survive, but this is their greatest opportunity."

Olivier's unique way of getting along with the cheetah enabled him to obtain nicknames such as "Leopard Whisperer" and "Cheetah Man". He also influenced people's views on wildlife in many ways, and the way we live with wild animals.

After this work was over, Olivier accepted an invitation from Discovery to tell the story of him and the wild through the show.

This time, he went to the Kalahari Desert with a temperature of 45 degrees Celsius to observe the wildlife here and tell the audience about the emotions and stories behind those wild instincts.
