I have to push back. Unless Juba is in an animal sanctuary, where he interacts with humans regularly and will soon be rescued and fixed; he's not enjoying the attention. He's letting the critter with the one REALLY big eye know that he understands he's about to be eaten. I hope reality is the former, but wish the photographer would have let us know. We have too few Cheetah's to spare a fertile boy.
