This is my contribution to the recent flow of cheetah pictures. ;) Taken in Kalahari, SA, on 10th of September with 100-400.

Oh yeah baby ... these are very smart. The first one is knock out.

Glad y'all got home safely.

That first shot is beautiful!
I got to pat a cheetah a few weeks ago, was amazing and they really pur - was a little worried about the purring at first.

Great shots. The eyes look a little odd on the first two. Not sure what it is, but they just seem a little different from what I have seen on cheetahs.

#1 is a real winner! #3 is not far behind! Great job Olli. Looks like the 100-400 performed well ;-)a
