Sure I will catch you! - a photo on Flickriver

Sure I will catch you!

These shots have been taken @Mukuni Big Five Conservation center (Zambia) where we have volunteered for a couple of weeks.

These three young cheetahs were our companions for 15 days, we learned to approach them and love them.
In few years they will be released into the wild and in the meantime they need to make what their best activity is: run like hell!!
Many of you asked us how we could get the kind of shot we posted few days ago. Well, here it is:

For keeping them exercised and be ready to afford the future freedom, every early morning they are having a fast run. An electronic machine works at the fastest dragging an object looking like a chicken and they show to us they majestic and incredible speed! They love this moment, they wait for this completely thrilled.
This was one of the most exciting moments of our days spent in that wonderful place!
