Beautiful capture Stephen!! You must winter in Florida.
Thanks, Deb! No, all these Florida shots came from a trip between February 27 – March 6. :-) I had a good success ratio.

The residents stories at Panther Ridge remind us that it is with education and compassion that wild felines have a chance to survive. Beautiful individual portrayed, Stephen. Is it Matt or Charlie?.
Hey Carmen, thanks for the feedback! Even Judy, the Director of Panther Ridge, has trouble telling the two cheetahs apart. :-) I’ll bet if we asked her, she’d let us know. I’ll get back to you.

Thank you, Stephen, for your efforts. If our subjects are identifiable, adding their names to the image title or description along an extra link to their stories, if any, helps further their cause.
In appreciation,
Carmen
I’ve added a direct link to the cheetah information page at Panther Ridge, as per your suggestion. :-) I’ll do that with the other cheetah and ocelot photo as well. Thanks!
