Artist's Comments

King Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus rex)

The King Cheetah, once thought to be a separate sub-species, is an African Cheetah exhibiting a rare fur pattern mutation. A recessive gene must be inherited from both parents in order for this "blotchy" pattern to appear. First discovered in Zimbabwe in 1926, this very rare animal has been seen in the wild only 6 times. It has been known to exist in Zimbabwe, Botswana and in the northern part of South Africa's Transvaal province. The DeWildt Cheetah Research Centre in South Africa specializes in breeding this cat in captivity.

De Wildt Nature Reserve, South Africa

Is there some tread left on those tires, or is it just like throwing a hot dog down the hallway? Family Guy
