Macaskill got the weather wrong, again!
A somewhat soggy cheetah caught out in the rain on the Maasai Mara. He was most put out especially as there was a herd of Impala close by :frown:

There is a second on that might be more appropriate, but I think the expression says it all!

Steve,

Certainly does not look a happy bunny with that expression. Without your explanation I might assume he came off second best in a fight - down in the mouth, one half-closed eye, and the angle of his ears. :toast: Cliff

In fact, De La Hoya looked like that this morning...........(if you are a boxing fan, you'll know what I mean).

Another very good 'in it's environment' shot Steve.
