PHOTO OF THE WEEK: Cruising Cheetah

I came across this excellent photo today, which shows a cheetah riding atop the roof of a moving jeep in the Maasai Mara in Kenya.

According to the blurb in The Telegraph, "[Cheetahs] climb the highest point available, usually a termite mound, to spot their prey, but this clever cheetah was so determined to find food for her cubs that she thought nothing of jumping onto a moving Land Cruiser."

A female cheetah sits on the roof of a jeep in Maasai Mara, Kenya to use the Land Cruiser as a look-out post. They climb the highest point available, usually a termite mound, to spot their prey, but this clever cheetah was so determined to find food for her cubs that she thought nothing of jumping onto a moving Land Cruiser. Photographer David Lloyd was capturing wildlife in the Masai Mara game reserve in Kenya when he picked up the unexpected hitch-hiker.

Reminds me of a few felines that happen to reside in my home...

Simply stunning.
