My best photograph of a cheetah.

I took this photo of a cheetah at De Wildt’s in South Africa. It is a “King Cheetah.” Although there was a period of time when some thought the King was a new subspecies of cheetah, it turns out to be a simple color morph. Although this was taken with a zoom lens, it was not set on telephoto … In fact, I had to wipe the breath of the cat off the lens … (And I’m only slightly exaggerating).
