Thursday was the last class in my "Wild Africa" program at the zoo. We learned about what the earlier instructors had jokingly called "cheetah food." Although there is plenty of sand in the Sahara, it's also the home of abundant wildlife, including addaxes, dama gazelles, dorcas gazelles, my buddies the oryxes (pictured here) and lots of others, including a possible sub-species of cheetahs.

It was a great class, and I'm excited for the next one. Rumor is that it's going to be on coral.
