Sleek, dangerous, fast, and vicious. No-one runs the Race of Life faster than the Cheetah, and yet it is on the endangered species list. The Leopard is perhaps the best equipped survivor for the long run. And what of the Lion? Lions are high up on the food chain, so have almost no predators. But every Big Cat born in the wild who survives to maturity can be said a winner in the Race of Life.
