I had thought so too at first, but then it didn't move in the different pix, so it was either a dead warthog or something else lol

Thanks for explaining, RP X#X

The blurred animal is a cheetah! :-0


1 minute earlier:

RP: "Well, my boy..this little stretch of experimental tar on the S-114 was were I saw my best ever cheetah sighting!"

GB: "Please do tell, clish."

RP: "It was a many years ago, clish. I was on my way back to Nellies from some or other mission, a cloudy morning, all alone..."

GB: "Yes? Clish."

RP: "There was a cheetah purposefully walking along the tar towards me quite a way away. beautiful, with the greenery around. It was summer time, you know! Clish."

GB: "What! Great! Clish."

RP: "Ja...at first I rushed closer to take some pics, but it was going nowhere, so I reversed all the way back to the horizon, and waited for it to come to me, clish."

GB: "Great! There is a traffic jam up ahead now, but carry on with your story!"

RP: "And so I can never forget the clip=clop sound of the cheetah's claws on the tar as it came slowly closer, not another soul in sight!"

GB: "Cheetah!!!!!"

RP: "Yes, Cheetah, that is the story! 0- "

GB: "No, there is a cheetah walking out of the traffic jam now! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: Clish."


And lo and behold, it was so! :shock: This was really the thread of the conversation, so an ultimate irony! lol
