The terrifying moment a cheetah slammed into a window after attempting to pounce on a 7-month-old baby inside a safari lodge was captured on camera.
The baby, named Otto, crawled around the floor near a large window at the Cheetah Safari Lodge at West Midlands Safari Park in Bewdley, Worcestershire.
The father is filming when Otto spots something in the pitch blackness as he stares out the window.
A few seconds later, a cheetah appears out of nowhere and slams into the glass. Otto remained unfazed by the close encounter and continued watching the big cat.
At one point, the animal turns around to face the child. Luckily, the reinforced glass held.
