A video of a cheetah and a tortoise hanging out together at the Carson Springs Wildlife park in Florida has gone viral online. The clip has been viewed a million times.
Only if you are living under a rock, you might not know about the arrival of eight cheetahs in India. Prime Minister Narendra Modi released eight cheetahs that were brought from Namibia on his birthday on September 17 in their new home, Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh. Actually, the wild cats were declared locally extinct in India in 1952. So, when a video of a cheetah hanging out with a tortoise surfaced online, it obviously went viral.
The now-viral video was shared by a page called Carsons Springs Wildlife on Instagram. It is a not-for-profit animal park located in Gainesville, Florida. In the short clip, the cheetah can be seen rubbing its head lovingly on the tortoise's shell.
"Tuesday and Penzi are best friends. Come see them at Carson Springs," reads the caption of the post.

Images of pre-Islamic Zoroastrian kings and warriors have been unveiled in Iran, evoking courage and resilience. Many say the Ayatollah regime in Iran revives the country's Persian identity during conflicts with Israel and the US. But this Persian heritage has always run deep, and is visible from time to time, in both dissent and unity.

The US-Israel war was meant to decapitate Iran's hardline leadership, but the killing of the "pragmatic" Ali Larijani might have done the opposite. By eliminating consensus-builder Larijani, the Israelis might have removed any scope of talks and pushed Iran into deeper hardline control. This could be a ploy to keep the war going.
