21 mai - Endangered Species DAY !!!

Of course, this is not a picture of the day even not of the month.
But this awareness about this feline is special to me.
Cheetahs are really among the most endangered species !
I love them so !

Good for you! These animals and all species need protecting. When they become a "problem" it is always because we have overun their habitat or upset the balance of nature. BV

We have 2 beautiful cheetahs (brothers) at our zoo - they are gorgeous creatures.

We too are plagued by overkilling, but on the other hand, some protected species here are just overrunning us; deers, mooses, seals, raccoons, skunks, pidgeons, seagulls and a few others. There are pressure groups on both sides of the debate, and beleive it or not, humans are dying because of that. To many cars crashing in animals, killing both partys. Good management has to prvail, but the pressure groups are falsing things up.

Gorgeous animal. Yes, they need to preserve them. I hate it so many have been killed. A gorgeous image!
