Beautiful cheetah! One of my greatest treats in life was playing with a cheetah cub that was being hand-reared, in the house, by a friend's friend who was a gamekeeper. What a feisty little person he was - and what sharp claws!
I do hate zoos though - especially when I see how little Bo Peep hates being confined and is so desperate to be free, which she hopefully will be soon. I don't mind "zoos" that do good conservation work and run necessary breeding programmes but otherwise I have a serious problem with them.
Such beautiful creatures. I do worry about the larger ones being in captivity though, even though I enjoy looking at them, I can't help but wonder........
I love elephants, giraffes and most especially... lions!
Hi Vanilla!
You got to play with a cheetah cub? I'm so jealous. ;o)
Zoos hurt my heart but I see the good of them. The animals are well cared for, never hungry, they have medical care and they are safe. But... they are not free. It's such a wicked paradox.
Hello Suburbia,
The only ones I can't stand are the bats. Ew. *shudder*
I enjoy seeing the rest... especially the big ones!
Sea lions and bears and giraffes---oh my! Great shots!

Is there anything cuter on the face of the earth than a baby giraffe?
ReplyDeleteOK. Maybe a baby elephant...

I absolutely love the polar bear.
ReplyDeleteGuillaume,
ReplyDeleteIsn't he great?
He said, "I have a stick!", and he played with it for a while.
