A Cheetah
A stray cat is one thing but imagine coming face to face with a cheetah in your own backyard. That’s what happened to 9-year-old Toby Taylor in Hamerton, Cambridgeshire. Thankfully, the little boy had the presence of mind to bolt for his house. The cheetah instead of chasing him settled for gnawing on the seat and tires of his bicycle.
Apparently, Akea the cheetah had escaped from the zoo near his place. The zoo officials maintained that Akea was as tame as a pet dog and was just playing with the kid’s bike. Either way, it’s scary to come face to face with the world’s largest land animal!
