A picture of our youngest granddaughter in South Africa last month posing with cheetah. Yes, it was a real live one and yes, she did survive - she was here last weekend.

Cheetahs make good pets, something of a status symbol for the ancient Egyptians and more recently for some African leaders.
Allotment, but little achieved.

wow awesome :)

Heh - I'd probably get mauled as my first instinct would be to grab it around the neck and give 'em a good snuggle!

Did get to take an Alpha female wolf for a walk in the woods at the Reading wolf sanctuary a few years back - that was an amazing experience. She flopped and refused to move on the way back - but did insist on many tummy rubs.

I'm quite envious - would love a close encounter with a - not vicious - big cat.

Gosh I envy her having that experience. Quite a privilege. You must be very proud of her.
But however tame it looked I would be rather fearful that I might end up being a tasty lunch!

Oooh how wonderful to be so close to that beautiful animal.....I would love that experience but would probably have to try very hard not to hug it!
Happy with my lot
