She has sent me the original but it is not much bigger that the first photo I posted here. It was taken on a cellphone so not great quality.

Correct, Dzombs. Those were captive-bred. \O

I read a very interesting book about De Wildt many years ago.
It has always been on my bucket list of places to visit, but I haven't been there yet.

There is a story with lots of pics in the latest 101 Kruger Tales that shows the last tourist pics of a King Cheetah. It was on the Talamati Camp road in 1993/4. (S140/5)
