I love cheetahs, and was happy to read the BBC article about a rare cheetah captured on film. Although I have to say that their build - specialized for sprinting - is always a little freaky and off-kilter just enough that when I see a cheetah in profile, as in the picture at the end of the article, it would totally not surprise me if it had a human profile.

I'm always freaked by how much, in side-silhouette, they remind me of greyhounds. :-D

Although your freaked-outness is explainable, since they're both specialized for the same thing! I just have a weird sense that something is not right. Not that it stops me from thinking Cheetahs are Nifty. XD

They have that look, don't they!

Augh! Yes, that last picture looks like something Donna Barr would draw! Animal body with a man-face.

That was almost too cute - I nearly died watching the video!

That is absolutely amazing. What an interesting profile they have...

It deeply saddened me to read that these animals are so close to extinction.
