Cheetah Strikes Beautiful Pose At Living Desert: Photo Of The Day

PALM DESERT, CA — A cheetah that resides at The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens in Palm Desert held still long enough for Katherine Campbell to snap this truly gorgeous photo.

"This beautiful big cat enjoyed our desert sunset while I enjoyed his/her gorgeous profile!" Katherine said.

Thank you for sharing this lovely shot!

If you have an awesome photo of nature, breath-taking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we'd love to feature it on Patch.

We're looking for high-resolution images (horizontal preferred) that reflect the beauty that is Southern California, and that show off your unique talents. So, please: bring 'em on.

Post them using our free Neighbor Post feature on the site or email to toni.mcallister@patch.com. Thanks.
