Bakka the Cheetah

Cheetahs are such beautiful creatures with their spotted coats and facial masks that look painted on. They are known for their speed, able to run up to 70 miles per hour. Bakka is a male South African cheetah at the San Diego Zoo. He and his best pal, Miley the female husky-mix dog, are animal ambassadors in the Backstage Pass program. Sometimes they can even be seen going for a walk with their trainers around the zoo. I can't help being in awe at the sight of a cheetah, especially one as handsome as Bakka!
