    Big-game watchers were hoping to spot wild animals on their visit to Kenya's Maasai Mara National Reserve, but they didn't expect this photo opportunity. The cheetah jumped on one of the reserve's 4x4s and settled in for a sitting session.

    Onlookers were worried the big cat would try to intimidate or threaten the people inside the car. Instead, the cheetah decided to vogue it up, offering onlookers a series of stunning poses.

    Photographers on the trip could not believe their luck, and quickly started taking careful photos of the animal through the sun roof. After several minutes, the cheetah jumped to the roof of another 4x4 to continue the show.

    Other riders said the cheetah was so close that they could feel the animal's breath. The driver of the vehicle was also amazed, saying he had never seen anything like the calm and collected cheetah in over 10 years.
