The answer is. . . we all do! That is why we are here right? :iconcheetahplz: :D

Sorry I have been so quiet/absent these past few weeks, I have been overseas and didn't have time to keep up with the club. But I'm back home now so hope to be a little more active :)
I just wanted to say it's great seeing this club grow with so many more artworks, new members and more new members coming in everyday so I thought a new blog entry would be good to update new members of what is going on in the club :D

:bulletpurple: Emotions contest :bulletpurple:

Don't forget with have a contest running with the theme of emotions. We want to see entries showing emotion which can be any media. So photography, digital and traditional art or even literature! You have until 01/01/11 to submit your entries so plenty of time :D
So far we only have 3 entries so I hope to see this grow :aww: For more info on the contest and what prizes we have so far go here --> cheetahsunlimited.deviantart.c…
If anyone wishes to donate prizes such as journal feautures, a drawing for the winner, points etc. Please note me or the group :)

:bulletgreen: Submissions :bulletgreen:

We do not have a limit on submissions but please be reasonable and don't go submitting a lot of your work at once. Also we do accept most pieces but you must make sure that it is obvius that it is a cheetah, this may sound silly but we have declined work in the past as it wasn't evident :D

Other than that keep posting your cheetah work for all of us to see and keep up the great art. If you have any feedback or suggestions for the group feel free to post them in comments under this blog.

Those participating in our Emotions contest, it's still going... and prices will be added! Points maybe? How many... ?
Let us know if the contest folder is acting weird!
I thought this was worth sharing.
The last wildlife census has confirmed that at least 10 king cheetahs are living in the wild. Due to encroaching farmers, cheetahs are being forced to move closer to areas with heavier foliage. The kings' blotchy fur is superior to other cheetahs' in terms of camouflage ability in these environments, which allows them to hunt just as efficiently.
Wildlife scientists are currently debating whether or not the king mutation is a form of micro-evolution, an adaptation to their environment. If they rule in favor of the king cheetah adaptation, it would mean several things:
> The king cheetah would be considered an independent species of cheetah.
> Kings would be considered the rarest cat in the world, replacing the amur leopard.
> There would be new hope for the cheetah's survival, proving it can still adapt and overcome.
