Talk about a close call!
Australian Bobby-Jo Clow learned that discretion is the better part of valor, after coming face to face with a cheetah on a recent safari, reports Caters News.
The 31-year-old was enjoying a nice sunny day at the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania when the young speedster and his siblings sauntered over to the Land Rover she and her companions were riding in.
Clow started snapping away at the elegant cat, capturing the youngster’s attempts to acquaint himself with her vehicle.
After a momentary inspection, the feline felt comfortable enough to stick his paws and head into the sunroof.
Sensing a wonderful photo op, the Clow leaned in for one last snap, something that cat wasn’t too thrilled about.
The resulting shot is a striking image of the young cheetah hissing and bearing its teeth at the photographer.
Fortunately, the feisty feline then fled, leaving Clow unharmed, but with the perfect photo.
