Captive bred male Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus).
Moja is part of an international breeding program helping this species with genetic diversity. Habitat loss and a narrow genetic gene pool has not helped this feline. As Head Keeper at a wildlife park I was honored to work with this species for many years and enjoyed the company of Moja and his brothers in their large natural enclosure. These boys were raised by their mother and I had the pleasure of having a unique relationship with them. During my late afternoon visits to their enclosure they would follow me around, lay beside me in the afternoon sun and whilst walking within their enclosure I would often startle a rabbit or two for them to chase. I had the honor of capturing this photograph of Moja as he lay waiting for his afternoons entertainment!
