Cheetahs v Robodog
Would rather see this experiment conducted in the wild.
Im a sucker for videos of animal interactions with unknown objects.

Ditto.
Screaming kids will have probably had more of an effect than the robodog.
Also, perhaps it's just me, but that thing moves a lot like a porcupine would.

Shame it's badly filmed with screaming kids in the background
Haven't we all all evolved to be freaked out by unfamiliar objects from the valley of the uncanny? The cheetahs look stressed. A robot that could run away in zigzag like an antelope would have been more fun.
Spy in the Wild/Snow had many scenes of wildlife reacting to strange objects

Nothing should be subjected to screaming kids.
I liked the way the cheetahs quickly determined which way round it was so they could approach from behind.
