Seeing the grace and dexterity of a cheetah running is one of the most amazing sights! At CCF, one of the ways to exercise the cheetahs is through a "cheetah run" - a rag on a string/pulley system, which moves in a big square (couple hundred feet). The moving rag incites the cheetah chase instinct and off they go! We were excited to witness the inauguration of a new cheetah run, which several volunteers/staff worked hard to create. At first, three adult cheetahs had a go, and then the cubs were brought in - a great success!
The first photo shows Matt and Goran setting up the cheetah run, followed by different cheetahs having fun/getting exercise. I didn't feel that the photos captured even a smidgeon of the beauty of cheetahs running, but hope that some of it is conveyed.
