The third “The Stalker” is an amazing wood sculpture with the head of the cheetah set low and the body posture sculpted to resemble the power that the cheetah is about to unleash. The fourth wood sculpture in this series is “The Stride”, this wood sculpture is of the cheetah starting out his run, building the power and strength to reach the speed needed for this pursuit. “The Stretch” the fifth wood sculpture in the series is of the cheetah in full stride of his run. With not a foot on the ground you can just imagine the speed the cheetah is carrying and the focus he has on the prey.

The sixth wood sculpture is “The Trip” where the cheetah is pulling the legs out from underneath the gazelle as it goes for the kill. The final wood sculpture is of “The Kill” where you can see the payoff from this chase.
