I love Cheetahs

I don't know why. I fell in love when I found the Cincinnati Zoo's cheetah blog, cheetahdays.com. I read through all of their back log one day last summer, and have been in love ever since. If I had know at a younger age that the trainers live with the cheetahs in a house, I would have made this my career.

It's amazing how docile they are. They are endangered because farmers in Africa shoot the them when the cheetahs attack their herds. Education efforts are underway to teach the farmers that all they really need is a big dog with their herds. When the dogs spot the cheetahs and bark, the cheetahs flee. They are non-confrontational animals, unlike some other big cats.
