Dramatic portrait of one of the two Cheetahs at the new Predators of the Serengeti exhibit at the Oregon Zoo. I memorized the route these two brothers took in their roaming of their new enclosure, saw the possibility of getting just this shot as one of them passed through a sunny patch and was lucky enough to get the shot exactly as I saw it in my head...with a bonus of this seriously intent look aimed directly at my camera. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Yeah XD Again I think it's another natural adaptation to the heat of the savannah, the breathing would allow a easier flow of oxygen to circulate around the body and ventilation.
