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.

Cheetah

Jachtluipaard

A content cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus). This one was digesting its gnu dinner on the southern Serengeti near Lake Ndutu in Tanzania.

The cheetah is a large feline inhabiting most of Africa.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thank you vey much for your visits, kind comments, favorites !

Kenya

Jachtluipaard

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.
