The signage for the Cheetah Safari is a bit confusing...we first saw a sign by the Africa Tram, but it really was indicating that the run was further up the path. It was located there because you could buy tickets for the Cheetah Safari at the booth next to the tram. Today's runners will be the brothers Isoka and Okubi.

OK, the actual entrance to the Cheetah Safari is on the other side of the track...across the path from the observation windows for the lion enclosure.

Shortly after we are seated within the Cheetah Safari viewing area, a trainer brings out a Bat Eared Fox

Those big ears allow this little guy to hear prey underground...and he's drawn to each drain

The trainers put something on this plastic thing that the fox likes to lick

And I just noticed that his leash says "Bad to the bone"

Ice, ice, baby!

He is like a dog waiting for commands from its owner

The stars have arrived

Trainers set up the lure for the Cheetah Run

Okubi is unleashed!

Okubi is unleashed!

Cheetahs can accelerate from 0-60 in 3.4 seconds...faster than most supercars, but not quicker than Ludicrous Teslas

We're getting a two-fur...Okubi's brother!

Best shot I got of Okubi during his run...I should have shot using a 1/2000 sec, but I think I am having more issues with autofocus speed than shutter

Unfortunately, trees between my lens and the cats threw off my autofocus...so I only got a couple of sharp shots

We get another chance for photos, but I am even less successful catching Isoka's run...until he puts on the brakes!

Isoka completely passed the lure

I guess he is eager to reach his trainer...

...so he can receive his reward

Good kitty

Isoka arrives for our meet and greet
