I didn’t know cheetahs meow I’ve always thought they roar my whole life has been a lie
Ok but the other one is purring so hard
If I ever don’t reblog this assume I’m dead
Fun fact: technically, because of its inability to roar and its ability to purr, the cheetah is not a ‘big cat’ (or Great Cat) - they are still classified as Lesser Cats.
Also you haven’t heard anything until you hear them cheep.
YOU CANNOT JUST SAY THAT AND NOT PROVIDE A VIDEO
I HAVE REALISED MY MISTAKE AND SHALL RECTIFY IT:
Cheeps.
Oh my god
I’m dead now
MURDER KITTEN SOUNDS LIKE A CHICKEN PEEPER
My step-mom just got a 4th Gen savannah cat and he came running up to me when I played this
[curls up on floor dying from cuteness] That first cheetah sounds at one point like it’s saying “Hi! Hi! Hi!”
I half wonder if house cats also cheep but too high pitched for humans to hear it.
I love how he showed how many times he failed though, that’s inspirational for people out here trying to learn
i love that he’s still doing this
i also love how he fuckin RIPS HIS HELMET OFF AND DESTROYS IT
i love that victory slide
Are we gonna pretend he didn’t just banish that helmet from this dimension on camera??
He sent it to the fucking shadow realm
Also wanna talk about how when people first begin to learn how to skate, they’re usually embarrassed to wear protective gear. But look man, if your learning to fuckin s k a t e my dude, you need that shit.
Tony Hawk is a pro skater and look how many times he fell before he succeeded. You need protective gear, please for the love of god, skateboarding hurts.
Donna Tobias - the first woman to graduate from the US Navy’s Deep Sea Diving School in 1975.
Brave women of the Red Cross hitting the beach at Normandy.
Dottie Kamenshek was called the best player in women’s baseball and was once recruited to play for a men’s professional team.
Kate Warne - Private Detective. Born in New York City, almost nothing is known of her prior to 1856 when, as a young widow, she answered an employment advertisement placed by Alan Pinkerton. She was one of four new agents the Pinkerton Detective Agency hired that year and proved to be a natural, taking to undercover work easily. She had taken part in embezzlement and railroad security cases when in 1861 the Pinkertons developed the first lead about an anti-Lincoln conspiracy.
Catherine Leroy, female photographer in Vietnam.
The three women pictured in this incredible photograph from 1885 – Anandibai Joshi of India, Keiko Okami of Japan, and Sabat Islambouli of Syria – each became the first licensed female doctors in their respective countries. The three were students at the Women’s Medical College of Pennsylvania; one of the only places in the world at the time where women could study medicine.
Female Samurai Warrior - Onno-Bugeisha - Female warrior belonging to the Japanese upper class. Many women engaged in battle, commonly alongside samurai men. They were members of the bushi (samurai) class in feudal Japan and were trained in the use of weapons to protect their household, family, and honour in times of war.
One of the most feared of all London street gangs from the late 1880’s was a group of female toughs known as the Clockwork Oranges. They woulde later inspire Anthony burgess’ most notorious novel. Their main Rivals were the All-female “the Forty Elephants” gang.
Maureen Dunlop de Popp, Pioneering female pilot who flew Spitfires during Second World War. She joined the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA) in 1942 and became one of a small group of female pilots who were trained to fly 38 types of aircraft.
In 1967, Kathrine Switzer was the first woman to run the Boston marathon. After realizing that a woman was running, race organizer Jock Semple went after Switzer shouting, “Get the hell out of my race and give me those numbers.” However, Switzer’s boyfriend and other male runners provided a protective shield during the entire marathon. The photographs taken of the incident made world headlines, and Kathrine later won the NYC marathon with a time of 3:07:29.
Okay, I initially reblogged this earlier, but I have to re-reblog with corrections.
The first picture is unfortunately fake. There is/was no Vatican’s Women’s Rifle Team, and hence Sister Juliette the Nazi-killing nun, while a great premise for a historical novel, can’t be proved in this case. It was probably a picture of a group of nuns from Massachusetts, taken in 1957.
The second picture is… sort of true. It does in fact show female firefighters at Pearl Harbor, but was not taken on the day of the attack (7 December 1941) and has been mislabelled for decades, apparently.
While Red Cross nurses did play an important role in D-Day, that picture is from 1945 and the south of France, not 6 June 1944 in Normandy. The first nurses arrived four days afterward. Martha Gellhorn was the only woman to land at Normandy on 6 June itself.
Dorothy “Dottie” Kamenshek was also real, and turned down the offer from the men’s team because she thought they only wanted her for a publicity stunt.
The “Clockwork Oranges” picture is also unfortunately fake. It comes from a book about the history of women wearing trousers (aka something they’ve always done). There’s no evidence for a female gang called the Clockwork Oranges. However, the all-female “Forty Elephants” organized crime gang was real, and ran a huge shoplifting racket in London for almost a century.
Maureen Dunlop de Popp was real, and did fly all kinds of planes for the ATA during WWII.
