A BBC documentarian was mauled a bit by a rabid cheetah. He’s fine, thanks to medical care, but I can’t quite help but thinking of the possibility of a slow painful death administered by the world’s fastest land mammal. Neat.
Add rabid cheetahs to the nightmare file.
From the article:
“It was desperately sad that such a beautiful animal should succumb to such a deadly virus,” said King.
Well. Gosh. I think rabid opossums are cute in their own frothy, rat-faced way.
Then again, I’ve never been on the receiving end of a faceful of rabid cheetah love, so I guess I’m not in a position to judge their inherent beauty.
I wonder if Tarzan ever had to worry about rabid Cheetah.
