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

Well, sort of fluffy. Their fur feels different that house cats. A bit more rough but still nice

good what a gorgeous Cheetah. It's so horrible that the King cheetah are on the verge on extinction (well, more-so than the other types).

Hey, this is probably a stupid question, but how can you get so close to these animals? do you work at the zoo? because these pic are amazing

TVD-Photography In reply to captaincabbage [2008-09-23 04:20:07 +0000 UTC]

My FAQ's in my journal will explain everything to you

I don't work with them, just holiday photos. Some zoos here offer these experiences

You should visit Australia, plenty of opportunities here. But you need lots of $$$$ which is the only downside

And hello
