I knew this farmer who found a cheetah cub that was orphaned after its mother was killed in a brushfire. He took it home and cared for it and it got pretty tame and just kind of wandered around his land. We were camped on his property and into our camp strolls the cheetah - I don’t think one of the students with me got out of the truck for the next month.
Was his name "Wales", by any chance?
