Thanks, interesting story. Apparently the saddle on the bike that she destroyed was s/he ' just playing around'. Bless  |

I like the "I ran as fast as I could" quote from Toby.
Just shows how some of these big cats are not very well contained. Cheetahs just shouldn't be in a Cambridgeshire zoo in any case. |

Cheetahs aren't that big and have a small head and jaws. Would they really give a full grown man a hard time?

Jim | If you find one, Jim, offer it your seat to play with, then we will find out! |

I'm impressed the nine-year old was able to recognize it as a cheetah, not sure I could if one suddenly appeared in front of me. |

If it gets injured, it can't hunt and will die. I believe that if a fully grown man turned and faced a cheetah, the animal will back down.
I'll give it a try next time I meet a cheetah!

I'll get the keepers to keep an eye on you next time to visit a zoo in case you challenge one then, Jim  | | | |
