Cheetah, Acinonyx jubatus

Some from a while ago. Everyone who goes on any kind of safari wants to see the big cats. I've been very lucky having seen Lions, Leopards and Cheetah. These were taken in the Masai Mara, Kenya.

You certainly came home with the cat in the bag. Good job

Notable how much lighter in weight these cats are compared to the lions and leopards. Built for speed and it shows.

Wow Kevin! That pose in that first one is world class! That's so awesome you have been able to capture these big cats.

Thank you Ben. I'm not a cat lover, but it's nice to see them in their natural surroundings and in the correct ratio to prey, unlike domestic cats which are almost at plague proportions.

Thanks Alan. I've yet to witness the speed but maybe one day
