Sylvester The Cheetah
Meet Sylvester, mascot of the Wild Horizons Wildlife Sanctuary and Elephant Orphanage in Zimbabwe, which I went to on a trip to South Africa in September of 2011. Sylvester was the closest I had ever been to a cheetah not in the wild, and as a mascot, he was very tolerant of people stroking his fur as he lay on the ground. This is something I would have never done unless I was sure he would let me touch him without him attacking me.
