SDZSP-201908
And so, the fun begins. Our family vacation for the summer of 2019.
Our first stop was the Cheetah Run. And, of course, the first to run is the Cheetah's dog companion.
And here comes the Cheetah out of the shoot and eyes on the prize!
In just a very few seconds, he is up to speed (in excess of 60 mph) and his eyes never leave the lore.
Got it! #Zoo #Safari #SanDiegoZoo #SDZSafariPark #Roar&Snore #Escondido #CA #Vacation #SCPCphotos #savetheanimals #stopextinction #Cheetah
A magnificent animal. The #Cheetah is simply beautiful when running. Poetry in motion. #Zoo #Safari #SanDiegoZoo #SDZSafariPark #Roar&Snore #Escondido #CA #Vacation #SCPCphotos #savetheanimals #stopextinction
Now for the treat after that most excellent performance! #Zoo #Safari #SanDiegoZoo #SDZSafariPark #Roar&Snore #Escondido #CA #Vacation #SCPCphotos #savetheanimals #stopextinction #Cheetah
The pan is empty. Darn it. Can I run again to get more? #Zoo #Safari #SanDiegoZoo #SDZSafariPark #Roar&Snore #Escondido #CA #Vacation #SCPCphotos #savetheanimals #stopextinction #Cheetah
Okay, then. Let’s go back down and set up another run. #Zoo #Safari #SanDiegoZoo #SDZSafariPark #Roar&Snore #Escondido #CA #Vacation #SCPCphotos #savetheanimals #stopextinction #Cheetah
He’s all in on this second run. Those treats are really worth it. #Zoo #Safari #SanDiegoZoo #SDZSafariPark #Roar&Snore #Escondido #CA #Vacation #SCPCphotos #savetheanimals #stopextinction #Cheetah
Whoa! No fair. That lore took a wicked turn. #Zoo #Safari #SanDiegoZoo #SDZSafariPark #Roar&Snore #Escondido #CA #Vacation #SCPCphotos #savetheanimals #stopextinction #Cheetah
But I got it anyway. And I’ll take those treats now, if you please. #Zoo #Safari #SanDiegoZoo #SDZSafariPark #Roar&Snore #Escondido #CA #Vacation #SCPCphotos #savetheanimals #stopextinction #Cheetah
