I thoroughly enjoyed your pictures, Savageduck. Too bad LOL wasn't along
to get some cheetah pictures taken while he was running backward ahead
of a whole pack of them, while eating a sandwich and talking on a cell

Thanks,
I was expecting some sort of comment from him, since he has yet to
provide evidence he does little more than behave as a troll, I try to
