Description Taken at the Erie Zoo. I was surprised to see they replaced the cheetahs with African Wild Dogs.

They-REPLACED-cheetahs?!? I love African Wild Dogs so much, but I love Cheetahs more ...
Aaaanyway ... awesome pic! Though, what's with the leaves at the top?

There's an observation deck that goes up about a story with, and the bottom floor has glass windows all around it. The cages surrounding the deck used to house cheetahs. I'm not positive what they did with the cheetahs because I haven't lived in this area enough to keep up with the zoo, but when I went to look at them there were the African wild dogs instead!
The leaves at the top were unavoidable. It was actually really annoying to take the photo since there's a tree that's just below the deck's level and the leaves make it hard to see the dogs even when there isn't a camera in front of my face. They probably wouldn't be so bothersome if they didn't overlap the ear of the dog.
I wasn't actually going to put this photo in my gallery. It's over a year old. I just got invited to an African wild dog group and wanted to contribute. It allowed me to overlook the leaf problem.
Thank you for the feedback!
