Monochrome Thursday

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.

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.

Colchester Zoo, 11th October 2016

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.

Cheetahs like other cats,kills their prey by strangulation.They hunt mainly medium sized antelopes,partculary Thomson's gazelles and impalas.This one is a male and friendly.

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.
