One of the four newly-arrived, male Cheetahs at Chester Zoo. His attention had just been drawn to a bird flying by. The Cheetahs now have a magnificent, new set of enclosures and eventually The Zoo hopes to introduce females to start a breeding programme.

Q: Why do Cheetahs wear spots ?
A: Cause the Tigers took all the stripes !

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)

A most regal animal. They appear to have some very nice quarters and definitely, some girlfriends are needed to break up the monotony.
