      Beautiful shot of a beautiful old lady.

      No worries! :D

      Very nice shot - they're a terribly photogenic species, aren't they?

      Fantastic photo! I would love to see one of these animals some day. (I don't know of any in the U.S. but I could be wrong).
    • karoocheetah
      yes they are very very sweet :O)
    • chizlit
      Hmm, well they need to be seen in the US so folks can get to understand what happens to them.......
    • Arizona Docent
      Why, what happens to them?

      That is a shame.

      According to ISIS, the only ones in U.S. are one at ZooAtlanta and two pairs at Red River Zoo in North Dakota.

      Hmmm, that webpage seems to let China of scot free, so let me put the record straight, these poor animals are quite often skinned alive in China to make into fur coats and fur trim.
      How anyone would want to wear a coat made from these beauties if totally beyond my thinking.
