I'm also curious where this photo was taken, and I also think that it is a cheetah. Posted 10 years ago

This is most definitely a cheetah, but which one? If this is its natural environment then the highest population of Asiatic cheetahs is in Iran where there is snow. Asiatic cheetahs tend to be darker, larger and with longer fur. I wouldn't like to say if this was an Asiatic cheetah, but I would be very excited if it was! Posted 10 years ago
