The cheetah

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

I know I said that all cats are beautiful and especially the leopard but I do think that cheetahs are the prettiest.

This guy or girl was sitting at the side of the road in the Serengeti and we watched for quite a while. Only later, did I learn that cheetahs are one of the few wild animals that really suffer from tourism. They hunt by day so when we all turn up in them Toyota Landcruisers, we scare the game off.

Pity, for if I had known that before, I'd have asked to move on.
