In this December 31, 2012 photo, Johari, a 3-and-half-year-old female cheetah, chases after a mechanized toy during a performance on the Cheetah Run at Safari Park, in Escondido, Calif. While moving at high speed, Johari is not at full speed, evidence by the fact her ears are visible. Cheetahs use their tails like a rotor to balance while they are running.

An alligator takes a break in Florida's Myakka River State Park in Sarasota after gorging on fish stranded in shallow pools left behind as water from the river receded. “It wasn't going anywhere in a hurry”, photographer Larry Lynch said in a statement. To get the picture, titled “Warning Night Light”, Lynch set up his camera about 20 feet (7 meters) from the alligator. (Photo by Larry Lynch)

An alligator takes a break in Florida's Myakka River State Park in Sarasota after gorging on fish stranded in shallow pools left behind as water from the river receded. “It wasn't going anywhere in a hurry”, photographer Larry Lynch said in a statement. To get the picture, titled “Warning Night Light”, Lynch set up his camera about 20 feet (7 meters) from the alligator. Just after sunset, he set his flash on the lowest setting to capture the “eyeshine” in animal's eyes. Like cats, alligators have a structure at the backs of their eyes that reflects light back into the photoreceptor cells to make the most of low light. (Photo by Larry Lynch)

When photographer Grégoire Bouguereau saw a female cheetah catch a Thomson's gazelle calf and bring it – alive – to her cubs, he guessed that a hunting lesson was about to begin. At first the cubs didn't notice the prey in their midst, Bouguereau said, but as soon as the calf struggled to its feet, the cheetahs' predatory instincts were triggered. “Each cub's gaze locked on to the calf as it made a break for freedom”, Bouguereau said in a statement.

A Sumatran tiger looks at a pig at the Sumatra Tiger Rescue Centre compound inside the Tambling Wildlife Nature Conservation (TWNC), near Bandar Lampung, the southern tip of Sumatra island, February 24, 2013. The rescue centre has released five tigers since 2009 on the 45,000 hectares of the TWNC jungle while eight are still under their care. One of the eight will be released next year. Rizal, a tiger keeper, said on a monthly basis the eight tigers eat a total of 80 live pigs, each weighing between 10-12 kilograms. The Sumatran tiger is a rare tiger subspecies that inhabits the Indonesian island of Sumatra. About 440-600 Sumatran tigers, which was classified as critically endangered, were accounted for by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 2008. The owner of TWNC, Tomy Winata, said his company, Artha Graha, has already invested between $20-25 million in TWNC, with monthly costs to sustain the reserve at approximately $150,000.
