Spoilers.

Later on in the series, Toto ends up dying. It's sad, you really get attached to these animals and you wish you could help them, but that's nature. And I think the emotional attachment that this show provides to its viewers is a great service to animals who have no voice of their own, and allows them to be an ambassador of their species to humans who might otherwise not understand or care.

They're non aggressive because if they get into a fight with a leopard or lion and got away they'd be so damaged they wouldn't be able to run down prey and they'd starve. They can't afford to fight and get damaged, hence the timid nature.

@dogsrule98 Actually there are now several. In fact, just off the top of my head there was one that happened not long ago at a Zoo in Belguim when a woman without authorization entered their enclosure and was mauled to death.

@iamlumin There are no documented cases of a cheetah killing a human. I doubt that story is true.

National geographic is better than bbc wildlife:P
