Cheetah Park, Namibia

There is a rescue organization for cheetahs in Namibia called Cheetah Park. There is a hug problem with cheetahs hunting livestock. It is not illegal to shoot and kill a cheetah in Namibia.  This group takes the cheetahs in so they aren't killed.

Who could hurt this face? 6 month old cub

There are 3 adult cheetahs that roam the grounds. They are friendly and you can pet them. The fur is really thick and they purr very loudly.

We were given the opportunity to watch the cheetahs feed in the evening. We didn't see them run, but we did see them jump. They are amazingly agile creatures.
