A CHEETAH LOPING ALONG
is a pretty impressive sight! We did not actually mean to see these guys...for some reason looking at big cats in captivity makes my heart shrivel. But we did want to see the wild dogs, and they must have moved the cheetahs over next to the dogs since the last time we'd visited.



This one was sitting on top of the cheetah hut, then she suddenly jumped down to see what was going on over at the neighboring enclosure (I think these guys were really getting hungry, they were incredibly lively!) I barely had time to depress the shutter let alone frame the shot but I did catch everything but the tip of her tail! I called out "Hey, do that again!" but was ignored. That's a cat for you! {'_'}
