Walking with Cheetahs

At the Tenikwa Wildlife Awareness Centre, we had the opportunity to walk with the Cheetahs.

They look like cats.........................

They purr like cats........................maybe a little louder...............

They have paws like dogs...............................................


It was a great experience to be walking with these big spotted felines.

    Hi Max
    Great to see you pop up in my comment section....
    I am on a roll at the moment but at time it can be a chore... but at least it keeps my mind busy... I'm fine though I over did a walk yesterday and suffered by heart beat and knee and hip joint wise... ha!
    I wish I had such a cat to take pictures of... the markings are stunning.
    All the best my friend... send Suzi my love.
    Tom

    I have had the opportunity to interact with cheetahs both in Oudtshoorn and at Kragga Kamma and agree with you. They are real cats who like the attention.

    Reminds me of a book I read as a kid about a little lion cub called Elsa. Looks like this cat is big and people should run...run...run :)

    So beautiful and they purr and you get to stroke and pat them, lucky you. Does their fur feel soft and silky like a pet cat?
