Cheetah Encounter


Here is a video clip of my encounter last Thursday with Masai, a full-grown male cheetah, at Lion Park in South Africa. Listen to his purr! He started to lick my hand and it felt like sandpaper; the manager warned me not to let him lick it for too long, as he would take the skin right off my hand!

That's one of my favorite sounds for sure. What a blessing to have a chance to pet that cutie! How did he go for the tummy rub?
