Animal Ark is a nonprofit organization that houses animals that cannot be released back into the wild. Glass viewing areas offer visitors a window into nature as they see wildlife in natural habitat exhibits. Educational programming is scheduled for Washoe County schools throughout the year, and special events offer recreation education for all ages during our open season, April 1 through November 1, Tues – Sun, 10 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

This is a general event of interest.

Will have to check that out,  would love to see the cheetahs show their stuff.  They would run circles around us on a dirt bike.  Thats an awesome action pic of the cheetah in action, total target fixation and amazing physical agility.

I want to touch one or be close to it without the fence.  That wouldn't happen, of course, but Cheetahs are cool cats.

Better wear your helmet if you do...

The Cheetah was saving her from the hair mop monster.  Innocent enough.

Still want to see them run.  I need to get more details.

Damn it!  I really wanted to see the Cheetah's in action.  Would have been for a worthy cause as well!
