Cheetah
Visiting my parents in Bristol at the weekend, we took my daughter out to the Wild Place Project near Bristol. They have a small selection of animals, my favourites were the cheetah, who were actually fairly active in the morning sun.
A content cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus). This one was digesting its gnu dinner on the southern Serengeti near Lake Ndutu in Tanzania.

All animals in Africa bite, but the safari bug is the worst of all.
I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.

If you only visit 2 continents in your lifetime, visit Africa, twice.

The Cheetah .
The cheetah is the fastest land animal in the world, reaching speeds of up to 113km/h. They can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in just 3 seconds. When running, cheetahs use their tail to steer, like a rudder for a boat. Cheetahs are the only big cat that can turn in mid-air while sprinting.
Amazing Facts about the Cheetah - OneKind
The sunlight was warm and bright on a September morning at the Denver Zoo, Colorado. The Cheetah could barely stay awake, but for a moment she regally sat up to survey her environment before returning to her nap.

The Cheetah's slender, long-legged body is built for speed. They are the fastest land animal in the world. Cheetahs can be distinguished from other big cats by their smaller size, spotted coats, small heads and ears and distinctive "tear stripes" that stretch from the corner of the eye to the side of the nose.

Have a fantastic week everyone! I'll try to visit as often as possible. Summer is such a busy time for me. Thanks for everything!
These Cheetah brothers were seen at Phinda Game Reserve in South Africa, which was the third destination of our African safari in October, 2015. These photos were taken in the late afternoon golden light on our first drive after arriving there. Seeing these wild cheetahs for the first time really took my breath away. They were too far apart to get all three in the same photo so another one is in the comment box. We ended up seeing 3 different groups in this protected area.
Many thanks for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.

PLEASE VIEW LARGE.
Busch Gardens Tampa Florida
This handsome fellow was relaxing with his family in the sunshine on Thanksgiving day. I love visiting Busch Gardens during the holiday season. They are not usually very crowded on Thanksgiving so there are shorter lines for rides and the temperatures are usually cooler (upper 70's) so the animals are more active. Christmas town opens this weekend so BG will stay open a little later in the evening and the park will be decorated with gorgeous holiday decorations.

Young Cheetah half an hour after feeding on an impala youngster. The mother is just behind it on the ground.
After this image, back to local wildlife for awhile.
There once was a cheetah
named Hinters
who above all other seasons
loved winters.
They made it easier to freeze
when seeing humans on skiis
And spared her poor paws
from splinters.
