I can still remember women wearing coats of leopard and cheetah fur when I was a kid. Oh my! To think that the relatives of this lovely creature that might have ended up in such a predicament.
Alive and in their environment they are pure grace.

An overall stretch of that amazing body.
The cheetah at home.
Seeing…
Closeups of fur of cheetah (left) and leopard (right), both just stunningly gorgeous and effective at helping them hide.
Still Learning To See 
I love the “cheetah at home”–the picture makes it so clear THAT is where s/he belongs.
Yes, they fit the land perfectly! I did have fun remembering the great Far Side cartoon of the cheetah putting on running shoes!
John,
These are wonderful shots. You must have felt like a big game National Geographic photographer out there. Hope you put together a book sometime.
Take care and keep the photos coming.
Dave
Many thanks. I’m thrilled with my photos but to get to that level is a whole different game! Safe travels.
Stunning
