[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Caught this big cat napping but he raised his head for a moment for an interesting look. He is in a zoo but the habitat is close to natural so you get a sense of being in the wild. I wish zoos would build secure enclosures inside these things so you could get more up close and personal in perfect safety, of course ;) If these exhibits were more accessible, they would be much better.

PP-cropped it, darked and contrasted about 15%, then resharpened for uploading.

Is this the fastest creature on Earth Gary? I think so... that Cheetah( sorry for spelling if wrong)
It is lovely shot and good moment to capture, but I would like closer look at this georgeus animal by zooming and avoiding trees... I know You like to present arround area that we can see where is that cat living.
You are right about what You said in note, I would like to be closer and secure to see animals like this one... Toronto Zoo is even worst in many cases for that.
