Extra pics and videos in comments!

Necessary disclaimer: this was a keeper-supervised experience/feed that took place at a BIAZA accredited zoo. Two keepers present at all times; we were never in direct contact with the cheetahs (the video with the chee with the amputated leg is me placing my camera right up to the wire, which I couldn't do with the larger male because I value my fingers), and the cheetahs were free to go be cheetahs at the other end of their enclosure whenever they wished.

This video is of the beautiful dominant male in the coalition, whom I fed lots of chicken with tongs. :) 

Belated birthday gift, and it really was a gift to get this close to one of the most striking animals on the planet. It's unbelievable how (domestic) cat-like they are. There are also lions housed at this zoo, and we paid them a visit afterwards. The disparity in size makes you admire wild cheetahs all the more.

Fun fact: did you know their skin is spotted? I did not (until today!)

This was my first time using this site, and one of my first times drawing with mouse.

I ran out of some of the chalk I was using ;-;, there was also a competition for chalk but I didn’t end up signing up for it

Newly revealed as part of the upcoming Disney Lorcana expansion set, "Attack of the Vine".

I decided to try animating Zira's deleted death scene in rough animator (All my previous animations were animated in Flipaclip) And honestly, rough animatior is really nice. However I'm not sure where I can find the background for this scene, so if anyone knows where it is that'd be helpful! I remember seeing a animated version of Ziras death from awhile ago and that inspired me to animate this! :)

idk, tell me that yall think, it's a bit underrendered, but i think thats good enough

It always baffled me how easily the Outsiders seemed to be winning against the Pridelanders. They’ve all been starving for years and living in squalor. Meanwhile the Pridelanders have spent years hunting regularly and eating well. There should be more Pridelanders and they should at least be holding their own better than this. Hell, at one point it seems like Simba is the only one left fighting, and he was still wounded from his previous fight.

-Scar (thinking): All right, here it goes. I've been rehearsing this speech for quite a while now. This will sure inspire them to stick with me.

(The hyenas are silent, waiting to listen to what Scar is about to say.)

-Scar: Mufasa is yesterday's message, a clapped-out distracted regime, whose failings undoubtedly presage the need for a different dream.

(Some hyenas look at one another, confused. Others just blink. Others do nothing.)

-Scar: Yes, leonine times are changing, which means that hyenas must too. My vision is clear and wide-ranging and even encompasses you.

(Silence. Scar is waiting to see the reactions. No reactions. Some crickets sounds come from far away.)

-A nameless hyena: Huh?

(Scar facepalms and sighs.)

-Scar (thinking): I suppose I should lower my language register to the level they understand.

-Scar (standing up and shouting): You'll have food, lots of food, I repeat, endless meat!

(The hyenas erupt into excited screams.)

-Scar (thinking): I'm surrounded by idiots. But at least they're useful idiots.
