Wade, I have never seen a performing cheetah before. However, on second look, I am starting to think that it is not a cheetah, but a leopard x cheetah cross. The tail says cheetah, but the hindquarter rosettes say leopard. The face, especially with the lack of distinctive cheetah tear stripes, says leopard. And the body type, not long and lean and muscular like a cheetah's, says leopard.

Margaret,
Not unless she is Clyde Beatty you are not seeing a gun. That's the "cruel" American Style that you have been spoon fed by self serving, trying to justify paper hangers. Until some ass pointed it out on the "history channel." This is Europe, so it is the "gentle" European Style.

Mary Ann,
And you shouldn't see one. They don't do much and they have them in zoo's.

It's a leopard - not a cheetah.

She is Marisza Zapashnaya, Moscow. Sister of the most famous Zapachny broters: Walter (liona) and Miecslav (elepants+tigers).
She used to have a large act with a dozen of black panthers in the 90s.
