Geparden

Another shot from Cologne Zoo, this time a Cheetah, german name Geparden:

This was shot from no more than 3m though a strategically placed gap in the heavy glass window between the Cheetah and it's prey using my usual combo of a 600D, 70-200 and 1.4x. Although I could have done without the 1.4x I could probably have missed the shot.

Re: Geparden

Thanks chaps. It may be the first time people had walked past their part of the zoo so there was newness to see for the day and the pair wandered over.

It's definitely a thousand yard stare isn't :-)

Re: Geparden

Liking this one a lot, you did really well to time the stare perfectly

Thanks Chaps. I'm quite pleased with this one

Here she is, I suspect it's the female, on the way over to check out the fresh meat...
