It is not easy to take photos of a cheetah running 0-60 in about 3 seconds, even when your SLR is set on the "sports setting." The three cheetahs at the Animal Ark are run once a week and the public is invited to one of these runs each month. Highly recommended...details here at Animal Ark . The next one is Balloon Race weekend.
When we were there the female cheetah, Zulu, had a bit of an upper respiratory infection so her caretakers though it best if she didn't run. This did not make Zulu very happy, and she paced in her enclosure hoping they would change their minds, which they did not.
Some photos of the two males, Moyo and Jamar, running...er....flying....
The turnaround ...faster than Phelps!
Which end is which?
Just a blur...
A beautiful sky ended our evening....
Heaven....
Lots of fun...put Animal Ark on your list of things to do!
