Photo taken in March, 2014 @ Koninklijke Burgers' Zoo, The Netherlands

I'd especially saved some photos of Cheetahs I'd taken during this  visit as these animals aren't all that common it seems, and well, I wanted to participate in the ICD.
So here you have a photo of the Cheetah Mom with one of her cubs - another addition to make sure the number of Cheetahs doesn't dwindle down again and help continue their survival.

Species: Cheetah (Jachtluipaard)

Latin name: Acinonyx Jubatus

Originates from Africa and the Middle East.

Current status: Vulnerable

 Did you know:

…The Cheetah can clock in to 112 to 120 km/h (70 to 75 mph), making it the fasted land animal on the planet, covering 500 meters (1,600 ft) in short burst, and being able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in three seconds.

…It is one of the few Felids with semi-retractable claws.
