San Diego Zoo Safari Park Cheetah Run : March 31, 2014

I was back for a quick visit to see Shiley do the Cheetah Run this afternoon.
First run: the shutter frame rate just about matches his stride, so he appears to levitate himself down the first portion of the track... and he wasn't supposed to catch the lure!
