SHANGRALA'S

CHEETAH ENCOUNTER!


      A curious big cat got up close and personal with a tourist while he was on safari at the Masai Mara game reserve in Kenya. The wild cat, with its razor sharp claws and teeth, sure is one critter you'd rather not have curling up on your lap!

      Here's How This Adventure Played Out... Enjoy! :)
Shangrala's Cheetah Encounter
      The bold cheetah hopped into the back seat of a jeep as it drove through the African plains - much to the shock of the Irishman inside!

      After entering the jeep, it slowly sauntered over to vacationer Mickey McCaldin until it was barely a foot away from his face. Family friend David Horsey captured the tense standoff between the pair as it looked like the cheetah was going to make himself comfortable on Mickey's lap.

      David, 62 from Mombasa, Kenya, said: 'I've been living in Kenya all my life and I've never seen anything like this. The cheetah just wasn't scared of getting up close and personal.'

      'At first Mickey was really relaxed but I think he was quite concerned it might try and sit in his lap. Unlike a domestic cat, you certainly don't want that!'

Shangrala's Cheetah Encounter
      'Once it had got bored of Mickey it turned away and looked out of the vehicle for a few minutes. It just jumped out afterwards.'

      Making himself comfortable: The cheeky cheetah and his family casually lounged atop the group's Land Cruiser jeep.
     


      These incredible pictures were taken on June 12, as the group tracked a well-known family of cheetahs, whose mother is called Malaika.

      Mickey was out on holiday with his wife and sister, who are friends of David and his wife Vicky. David said: 'Me and Vicky have lived in Kenya all our lives but we never feel the urge to leave. People always ask us where we're going on holiday and it's always around the game reserves. You never know what you're going to come across - just like this.'
