My favorite big cats !!! The cheetah is listed in the Red Book. There are about 12,000 cheetahs in Africa. Iran may have as many as 50 cheetahs. An Asian cheetah lived in Kazakhstan about 40 years ago, it is no longer there. And in Russia in ancient times, cheetahs were used for hunting to drive deer. The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus lat., In English - cheetah) delights many. Cheetahs are very fast. The highest recorded speed of this beast is 96 km / h. Believe it or not, when the cheetah reaches its maximum speed, the length of its jump reaches 7 m, and it spends more than half of the time in the air. In addition, the cheetah can accelerate from 0 to 97 km / h in three seconds, which is faster than many sports cars. Cheetahs are not exactly your ordinary big cats. Speed is undoubtedly their most powerful weapon, but some of the things that we are used to associating with large felines, they do not know how to do. So, for example, cheetahs do not growl, but can purr, chirp like birds, hiss and even bark. Surprisingly, they see no better in the dark than we do. In general, cheetahs are diurnal animals that prefer to hunt in the early morning or on the side of the day. They are not good at climbing trees.
We are a family of artists in the third generation. We live and work in Kiev, Ukraine. We met in 1986 in the city of Dnepr, when we studied at the Dnepropetrovsk Art School. We got married in 1990 when we studied at the Kiev Academy of Arts. In 1996, our daughter Zlata was born, and for several years we taught at the Dnipropetrovsk Theater and Art College. At the same time, we joined the Union of Artists of Ukraine, of which we are still members. From early childhood, we participate in various exhibitions. It gives inspiration for work and further development. Many art wall paintings were made. We always work together. As the saying goes: "One head is good, but two is better." Although, if we talk about our work, then two souls are also richer than one. We love animals very much. This is evident in the plots of the paintings. And we prefer to do only good. Only positive and bright feelings when creating your pictures. We want to give people joy. Therefore, we work only in a good mood.
