People Hunting with Cheetahs, India 1939
Loading...
Uploaded by bouju1 on Mar 25, 2009
This is a segment from the film Life with an Indian Prince. In 1939 two young Americans traveled to India to experience the falconry practices of Indian royalty and to photograph and film wildlife for National Geographic. In addition to hunting with birds of prey, members of the royal party used to hunt with cheetahs. This sport and way of life has disappeared into history. This rare footage is quite unique, and most probably the only of its kind.

@abdulbade the cheetah is returning to india...they're planning to import cheetahs from south africa and release them into sanctuaries. However it's not the same subspecies as the ones featured here. This subspecies is only located in Iran about 100 individuals. But at least now india has back one of it's native cats :)

cant believe people can live so symbiotically with the cheetahs but unfortunately all humans got greedy and selfish so i feel bad for these animals that depend on us to save them but we are ignoring it

@khattak3
The first movie cameras came about during the end of the 1800's.
Just for reference, "Gone with the Wind" and "The Wizard of Oz" were released in 1939.

I believe the first real experiments with color filmed happened in England around 1906. A 2 hour silent feature film called "With Our King and Queen Through India" was released in Kinemacolor in 1912. "The Wizard of Oz" was one of the early "Technicolor" films.
