Amazing, breath-taking, beyond beautiful; the animal before us deserved each of those descriptors, and more.

OK, so I’ll admit being a bit skeptical about Nyalas causing declines in Coutada 11’s Chobe Bushbuck populations.

The scrabbling of the Cheetah’s non-retractable claws on the floor of the transport crate and the thumping of the animal’s heavy body into the sides of the container made me wince.
