Taken as a test of my cameras high speed shutter.

One of the programs at the San Diego Wild Animal Park (now Safari Park, stupid rebranding). The trainers bring out one of the "ambassador" cheetahs – and their canine companion, this time an Anatolian Shepherd off camera.

Here one of the trainers shows some off some of the cheetah's remarkable abilities by chasing a lure around. Sure it's nowhere near a cheetah's top speed, but it does show off the tail "rudder."
