A very nice shot of this cheetah. One can think it was taken in Africa.

I am not that certain if I like them ... Too skinny for one thing and not to nice to hug for another ...

Wonderful shot. I went to the zoo a while back, and none of the good animals were even out because of the heat. I wish I could have gotten a great shot such as this.

I prefer this shot to your earlier Cheetah upload but of course both are super Steve. It's kinda neat the way you've captured the end of the tail !

Big brother's watching you :o) A mistreated dog should try to leave a deposit on their masters best carpet, after all it's important to establish who's boss ... Welcome to the last resort. :o)

He looks like he is saying: "Why four guys, couldn't we have one girl?" Great shot and the coloring is super Steve. I am enjoying your trip to the zoo.

Great shot Steve, colours are very natural and focus is good. That's one magnificent cat. Isn't it great that zoos are doing less wire and glass and more open enclosures - perfect for us photographers.

I like the focus of her beautiful face as it focuses out in the background:)
