"The cheetah is best known for its speed, but an adult seldom runs except while hunting. Unlike the lion, who can usually be found sleeping all day, the cheetah often spends his leisure time looking around. Any high spot - a rock or mound of dirt - will do for a vantage point from which a cheetah may spend hours watching for prey and surveying his surroundings. The picture of grace and elegance in any pose, the cheetah depicted here is the personification of dignity and purpose. Struggling in a losing battle against extinction, the cheetah has no time for frivolity." - Rosetta
