Cheetahs Galore!

---

Wow, we are really getting spoiled with tame, trained wild animals. In Cheetah Park, we got to visit cheetahs that wander the grounds like domestic cats.

In the yard of the owner's home, he had two full grown cheetahs, a four-month old cheetah, two dogs and a giraffe all roaming around like a happy family. One of the dogs, a hyper jack russell terrier, would chase and play with the baby cheetah. A sight you don't see everyday.

After we visited this home, we went on the ride to feed the "wild" cheetahs. The cheetahs are brought to Cheetah Park to save them from being killed. This area has an abundance of cheetahs invading people's property. When they see cheetahs, they usually kill them because there are so many. There are about 10 wild cheetahs that live in a huge fenced in area...acres and acres of land.

Every night, they feed the cheetahs by throwing them huge chunks of meat. Today, it was donkey. As we our feeding truck drove through the wildlands, the cheetahs came trotting to the truck as if it was a popsicle truck luring in children.
