Some context: I was volunteering at an organization in Namibia and in one of their protected areas they had these cheetahs, who was orphaned as young. As they were fed by humans during their youth because of them having no mother to help them, they became less scared of humans which means they have to remain in the protected reserve to not walk into villages and get shot. They still do not like humans at the slightest, as you can see, as we tried to keep them as wild as possible with little to no remorse to us. The reserve is huge with an entire ecosystem where they can thrive, safe from humans.
