Husband Takes Photos of Wife's Cheetah Attack

May 8, 2012 @ 9:52 am

A Scottish tourist survived an attack by supposedly-friendly cheetahs in South Africa. He husband took photos while she was being attacked, but it may not be his fault. She told the BBC that it all happened so fast, her husband was clicking away and didn't realize what was going on.

Check out the three photos below. (Warning: Some are graphic.)

    The first picture is not related to the other 2. Probably not even the same cat. She went to the aid of a child elsewhere in the compound and THEN a couple of cats knocked her down - her husband could hardly have not realized what was going on. ..... Who made up this post/story for you ?. ....... And, apparently, no one was hurt badly - no more than if your black lab got overly excited.
