Cheetah~ABC Wednesday for February 4, 2009




C is for cheetah~~
We LOVE to visit the Living Desert Reserve in Palm Desert and we often head over to the cheetah enclosure to spot them. On this morning, they had just released them and this one was sitting up on his bluff, overlooking the hills. Maybe he was looking over at the African cattle? We don't always see them, so when we do, we enjoy observing them. They are so quiet! This one started to move off to another spot and we didn't hear a thing.

these are just great!
We were there just last December (didn't have far to go but we come to our Timeshare once a year), just love the Air Museum and the Desert museum. I can't wait for 'G'.
Glad you are posting photos of this lovely area.

Your cheetah is gorgeous! When I looked at your first picture, I thought it was a statue or something. How great that you can see real chetahs at the Living Desert Preserve.

Great framing on that first shot. Cheetahs are such sleek animals.
