Zoo Miami and Joel Sartore photographing a Rare King Cheetah.

At Zoo Miami, located in Miami Florida, photographing a rare King Cheetah with Joel Sartore

I find it amazing that cheetahs can purr just like a house cat.

[@kasuji1]

what a magnificent animal first time i seen one love the stripes

[@nyautotradersleasing7290]

What a beautiful cat

[@marquitagaston5970]

I love king cheetahs they are so BEAUTIFUL

[@leonardbrown1725]

This is a magnificent animal if I ever seen one

[@nancyfenity9817]

Correction....the King Cheetah is a genetic mutation of the Cheetah, not a sub-species as I had thought, but still I feel it is important to save and preserve ALL Cheetahs. The Cheetah is endangered more each year with their numbers rapidly declining.

02:30 Young me when I was angry at the photoshoot and mom told me to smile

[@neotemper6914]

King Cheetah mode! Animal beatiful amazing!

[@fhrusnssk]

I kinda feel sorry for the cheetah he looks stressed around so many people in a tight room.

[@sohamsaha2747]

He's like wtf i am doing here

[@marisabland6601]

Beautiful

[@alexanderwall1303]

King Cheetahs are not a species. It is a genetic mutation that the regular African Cheetah can be born with. To say they are an endangered species is misleading.

[@call_me_mrhate165]

you are right! it's a genetic recessive gene

[@NOUSNOKAY]

cheetahs are aalmost endangered..... 5-7 years and we can put them in the endangered list

[@AlphaAngelX7]

Also due to lack of mates cheetahs turn to breeding with siblings lowering genetic variation and endangering them more

[@rogerhtoo4646]

Alex Wall there faster than normal color are diffrent and I don't know look it up

[@rockey13gt]

Kaili Golden the most endangered big cat are tigers.

[@DragonCraftFilms]

Only 50 ONLY 50??!?!??!?!?!?!?!? We must save it.......

[@luthymo2422]

Now only 40

[@luthymo2422]

Wait no 30

[@nancyfenity9817]

Fifty!! My God why only fifty? What needs to be done to save them? They are soooo beautiful and an iconic species. Rare to begin with, but reduced to fifty...there has to be a zoo sponsored breeding program and extreme measures need to be taken to preserve them in the wild if it isn't already too late.

[@jonnjonzz8957]

it looks more muscular than the regular one

[@nathancallahan1908]

Probably why it's also faster.

[@KaidosAKAWhiteDragon]

It's just a genetic mutation, not a subspecies or anything.

[@anneegalster2447]

Cheetahs are my favorite land animals . But over all I LOVE all animals , but I do have fear of sharks .

[@jamesaron1967]

Same here. The only animals I prefer over cheetahs are eagles.

[@ประธานเฟิร์ส]

Just stay away from water then you have nothing to fear lol

[@ZooTycoon2witchdoc1]

Beautiful kitty ^^ may I ask, what song is in the background? I really like it

[@SinaMuscarina]

I did not know wild cats purr as well ;)

[@TheropodHunter]

Only a few species can, the biggest cat that purrs is the Cougar, all panthera cats, Lions, Leopards, Tigers, Jaguars, etc... cannot purr as their throats are built differently.

[@danaroberto4390]

That's a pretty cheetah

[@dragonboi4866]

theres the lion king heres the cheetah king

[@alissey]

Poor guy, he looks so stressed.. :( But I hope this photoshoot will help raise awareness about them somehow

[@rockey13gt]

they are endangered now. only about 7100 left.

[@rockey13gt]

Noah Ross i know. i wasn't talking about king cheetah specifically.

[@ellyzabethxx]

Oh look the guy with the mustache that goes to don Francisco Show...

[@Ashander20]

I've never seen king cheetah on every group of cheetah cause maybe he's different 🤔

[@andreyrezzer2659]

Legendary skin lol

[@sidharthkhatri8059]

I think this is jaguar and cheetah mixing

[@jessenay646]

if you do research about old cheetahs they were way bigger

[@TheropodHunter]

Miracinonyx, aka, the American Cheetah, for example.

[@ashlynnekfffmn8444]

That is not how a cheetah is supposed to live. They're wild animals and they don't enjoy being told what to do and cooped up in a cage. Even if it's a big cage. They need to be able to live life as they were intended and run free

[@confidenceisthekeytosucces9125]

I think this cat is a mutation and I think is great to have it caged up than out in the wild, so this people can give it the great care it needs and it limits other bad people who go hunting for them from not getting the chance to kill them and make coats or other disgraceful stuff.

[@bbadrian007]

Yes, I agree. Cheetahs and all animals needs to be free in the nature

[@NikonChicFL]

I wondered how many there were left! Jeez!!

[@christianguadron1613]

30, very rare. But felines are very smart and wont allow themselves to caught by others animals. This is a true beauty and nature is beautiful.

[@NikonChicFL]

OMG Christian Guadron ...that is crazy!! The first I've seen a King Cheetah was at Zoo Miami years ago during their animal show.

[@shahiraomar4229]

[@bhavinpancholi3488]

Asiatic cheetah?

[@BanjoJo]

Why's the tail tied up?

[@call_me_mrhate165]

because people are stupid and that's a wild animal

[@nyc_shots]

Probably to try to prevent it from taking off with great ease, idk

[@afeeqhasan6236]

are king cheetahs are only boys?

[@Kiwi_Tea]

+Afeeq Hasan No, they're both genders, the name comes from the fact the King is bigger than the normal Cheetahs.

[@marquitagaston5970]

No not all king cheetahs or doys they can be grils

[@yuukwahyu]

Ayo kumpul yg dateng kesini cuma karena dapet info dari IG 🔥
