When evolution strove for perfection, this was the amazing result.
You can help saving the cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus), by supporting the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF). For example, you can buy the books "A future for cheetahs" or "Cheetahs: A celebration of speed and elegance", written by CCF founder Dr. Laurie Marker and with photos by Suzi Eszterhas. I can really recommend these books, interesting texts and the photos are amazing.
Photo credits Suzi Eszterhas and CCF on the four images above.
You can also support cheetahs and other wildlife through Remembering Wildlife.
December 4 is said to be the International Cheetah Day, but remember that you can help the cheetahs any day. The eight photos below are all credits CCF.
If you would like to see details of cheetahs running, take a look at this remarkable video by Gregory Wilson.
If we are going to save the cheetah, we'll need to change the world for them. Animals can't do it. They are stuck; their faith is in our hands.
Saving the cheetah means changing the world.
You can't change the world
But you can change the facts
And when you change the facts
You change points of view
If you change points of view
You may change a vote
And when you change a vote
You may change the world
This is your world, these are your people. You can live for yourself today, or help build tomorrow for everyone.
Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
Every feline is a work of art.
Possunt nec posse videntur.
