As regular Blog readers know, I have taken many photographs of the cheetah in the photograph above. Every time I go to the Denver Zoo, it is there, observing everyone and everything. As you can see from the above portrait, it looks you right in the eye, never flinching. The cheetah is supposed to be a very fast animal, traveling up to 75 miles per hour in short bursts. It definitely can't attain that speed in it's current environment, which begs the question - is it better to have these animals in zoos to preserve their existence, or should they be left in the wild to either survive or disappear? I am hopelessly divided on this question, and so am no help at all. Hopefully wiser minds than I can answer this important - and critical - question.
