Description Taken at the Cleveland Zoo. The trek up to get to the cheetahs is up a big hill you that's killer on the legs, but I did it three times today because I love to watch these guys. I wasn't going to go back but decided what the heck and managed to capture him sitting pretty. There will be another, more humorous one later, but I wanted to get up my favorite ones first.

Heh, and why not...? Even the Romans occassionally kept wolves - they're like big dogs, really!
Of course, you had to start off with a cub and domesticate them from the beginning!
(In any case, that's the idea I got from historical-fiction "The Eagle of the Ninth" by Rosemary Sutcliff)

Then I start thinking I'm in a Monty Python skit by thinking "But I'm all skin and bones! Eat Jones, sir, he's got a little more fat on him, much tastier!" LOL
