A Brief Glimpse
A cheetah on a termite mound is speed paused in perfect stillness: tear-marked face lifted into the wind, spine curved like a bow, every line of the body built for the moment before release. Its sound is unexpectedly soft — a chirp, a purr, a thin contact call — a reminder that the fastest thing on the plains can also seem almost fragile.
