I want to break free!

I have no idea why this Cheetah was so on edge. It kept on pacing up and down with a not so happy face. Occasionally it would lie down. They have so much place to roam at Cheetah encounters. Maybe he was waiting for lunch.

It might appear that he is in a cage which is not the case. There are two rows of fencing as it is a walkway through the area. Bob

Great shot, I think you are right they always know when the food is due.

Helpful explanation regarding the fencing - visitors could get very close for seeing the Cheetah. Great capture of the Cheetah which is very beautiful.

@grammyn Not this time Katy, they are renovating certain parts and it was closed for the day. It is just opposite the golf course in Strand, so I could go anytime again :-)

[katy]

It must be exciting to walk through it like that

[Joy's Focus]

Cheetahs are my favorite! And yes he does look a little agitated.

[Diana]

@joysfocus Ye, for some reason he could not relax. All the others were sleeping in the bushes, not this one :-)

[Vesna]

Superb photo!
