Nice shot Dawn.
Of all the big cats there's something about Cheetah's that I like. I think it's the fact that they have to hunt and survive in amongst all those bigger cats.
Notice the size of those eyes in relation to the head - positioned for maximum binocular vision.
Something I remember as a kid was being told that a Cheetah can't roar ???

Yes Phil I think you are right, they are not a "true" big Cat as they cant roar.
