I'm not so sure, slow and tasty more like,
they should be prosecuted for child endangerment, they're just lucky they were Cheetahs and not Lions or they'd all be dead.

Reluctantly I have come to the conclusion that the idiots (which they undoubtedly are) probably didn't rate Cheetahs as dangerous in the way everybody accepts Lions are. I really can't bring myself to believe they would have got out in a Lion enclosure.

I've had tea on the lawn with loose Cheetahs at Africat (not to mention them sitting on the Land Rover 3 feet away from me: great photo-opp!) and didn't feel threatened: so perhaps I'm not much smarter than them.

Anyway, they know more about Cheetahs now than they did!

I think that these Cheetahs were only so bold due to pack mentality, I don't think a lone Cheetah would have behaved this way?
