A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Cheetahs are so weird largely because they're actually not apex predators and are surrounded by so many bigger predators! From lions and leopards to packs of wild dogs or hyenas, there are plenty of animals that can take down a cheetah pretty easily. Especially because they're so overbuilt for that burst of speed that that's basically the one trick that they have. They're super easily bullied out of their meals by other animals, including scavengers. I think this is why they're so chill with people, though. Because if we're not running at them or away from them, then we're not predator or prey, and must be some secret third thing - friend shaped! Kinda like how we're the only other bipedal animal in the Antarctic besides penguins, so penguins largely see us as just weird-looking penguins and will hop into boats with people and stuff.
