Photo Taken THROUGH the fence of a cheeta at Lente Roode’s Cheeta Rehabilitation Center , Hoedspruit South Africa.
What a magnificent cat!
Yes they are beauties. This one came so close to the fence that it rubbed it’s face against it. We were warned not to get to close the fence( We were in a vehicle with the guide, she stopped next to the fence)
Beautiful post my friend 🙂
Thank’s Jakes for hopping in and the compliment
Interesting! How many Cheetas did u managed to see at Rehabilitation Center?
I cannot remember the numbers but They were in different camps in pairs of two or four. Between the camps they had these drive through ways which they close down and let a male run down the fence to see which female is on heat. Was very interesting. They breed them there to let them loose when they are fully grown into reserves. They also have a vulture restaurant there. I’ll put some photos on my post to show you (That will be tomorrow because it’s nearly 10pm and bedtime for me)
The cheetah – my favourite land animal 🙂
Yes, they have a personality of their own! There were two king cheetahs also in rehabilitation.:)
I feel safe, because Cheetah is too large to creep through the hole in the fence …
It still charges up to the fence and also wants to grab you when you get too near!
