Description
It looks like these cats would be so fragile. I guess that's what you get when you are built for speed.Cheetahs have always been my least favorite of the big cat family, but they're still cool. I have never been able to figure out their names, or which is the male and which is the female in this pair. They're fun to watch though.

Wow...this angle certainly shows off the gangliness of this critter. The eyes really stand out here -- the cheetah's brow isn't casting any shadows over them (something which I've noticed in a lot of cheetah photos), and the eyes' orange hue makes them even more stunning. Very beautiful.

Cheetahs are my least favorite also, they just look so mouse-ish in their face. They're still pretty cool cats though. Dunno if you've ever heard the noises the cheetah cubs make but it's pretty neat.

Cheetahs are my favourite big cats I think. I just love their faces but I can't decide between them and tigers. xD

They are incredibly thin, but surprisingly big, too! I had my picture taken with one in my lap and I was stunned how large they became. (Only his head fit in my lap!)

I absolutly love cheetahs, have to be one of my faves out of the large cats though it is hard to decide because I love them all. Cheetahs are just different cats, I love that. This one is beautiful, I absolutly love how long their legs are and you did wonderfuly capturing this beautiful cat!

I love its eyes and the intense look.
Cheetahs are (at least in my opinion) very beautiful animals and I like them very much, and I like the way you captured this deadly stealthy grace.
Sorry, my English probably isn't the best - but I'm sure you know what I mean. In case you don't -

Thanks! this is taken with a D70 with a nikkor 70-300mm lens. It's my favorite lens, just don't trust it auto-focus quickly
