Cheetah Pose
Our two male Cheetah were demonstrating two very typical Cheetah poses. They were scanning their surroundings for possible prey!
More about Cheetahs:
The Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a large-sized feline inhabiting most of Africa and parts of the Middle East. Cheetahs can run faster than any other land animal, up to 120 km/h (up to 75 mph) in short bursts covering distances up to 500 m (1,600 ft), and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to over 100 km/h (62 mph) in three seconds.
Cheetahs have unusually low genetic variability. It is thought that the species went through a prolonged period of inbreeding following a genetic bottleneck during the last ice age. The Cheetah likely evolved in Africa during the Miocene epoch (26 million to 7.5 million years ago).
Very nice pictures.
Big Cats are always one of my favorites! Cheetahs and clouded leopards the most.
I like your bird photos have been so varied…you must have alot of species there.
Thanks,
