Description
OK, so I thought I'd start with Jama the king cheetah. Jama was from the National Zoo and Aquarium in Canberra. Just recently though, he had passed away
I was very lucky to meet him last year.
Oh and I look really tubby and goofy in this pic
RIP Jama!
*EDIT*
Geez, who would have thought choosing snapshot would place the photo in SCRAPS! T_T

Where do you work or what do you do, to have the opportunity to be so close with these animals? Its my dream to work with animals like this! Your pictures are gorgeous, I wish i had the same chances you did to see animals so close and personal like you do ! Beautiful work !

Oh this was just holiday photos, I work in a shitty call centre with horrible customers that yell at you. I will be quitting soon though
You can do things like that too someday. There is a place I'd like to go called Jungle Cat World in I think Toronto or close by that you can pet their babies
Thank you again

King cheetah's are so beautifull and yet so rare. It's an amazing photo because, as you wrote, Jama has passed away. I'm so sorry to read this

you didn't happen to see any arctic wolves at the national zoo, did you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't think we have any arctic wolves in Aus. I haven't been to every zoo though but National Zoo is small and privately owned. Not as many animals as some of the bigger zoos

That is so sad... But luckily I got to do the same thing: [link]
Great image. A lot better than mine. But then again, you probably have a much better camera than me at the time. I have a much better one now, the one that took my photo of me and Jama was really bad.
Anyways- Beautiful picture. He lookms to calm and relaxed!
