Cheetah in Resin – Speed & Grace (128x40h50cm)

• The cheetah — the most elegant and distinctive silhouette of the feline range: unlike the tiger (stripes, massive power) or the panther (absolute black, mystery), the cheetah has a unique visual identity — slender, aerodynamic body on long legs, full black spots on a beige-gold background, characteristic black "tears." An immediately identifiable sculpture that is different from all the other felines in the catalog.
• 128cm long — life-size of the adult cheetah in motion: classified XXL (+100cm), this sculpture reproduces the actual proportions of an adult cheetah. The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) measures between 1.1m and 1.4m long — the 128cm of this sculpture is perfectly faithful to the proportions of the real animal in motion.
• Walking posture — frozen aerodynamic elegance: slightly inclined body, long and slender legs in a fluid step position, head held lightly — the walking posture of the cheetah reveals all the grace and economy of movement that make this animal the most elegant predator of the savanna.
• 10.5kg — the same weight as a lying tiger, length of 128cm : its slimmer silhouette and long legs give it a narrower footprint on the ground (40cm wide vs 58cm for the lying tiger) but its length ensures perfect quadrupedal stability without anchoring.
• Spots and "tears" hand-painted with precision : the solid and regular black spots of the cheetah, characteristic of the species and different from the leopard's rosettes, are painted individually all over the body — each in its slightly oval or round natural shape. The black "tears" that descend from each eye to the mouth, a unique anatomical signature of the cheetah, are carefully painted on the expressive face.
• The most contemporary and design savanna sculpture in the feline catalog : its slender silhouette, beige-gold tones, and regular spots give it a very contemporary graphic register that fits well in both a natural garden and a design or minimalist space. 2-year warranty.

• In a garden, oriented along a path or open space : like the walking tiger, the oriented cheetah gives direction to the space. But where the tiger imposes its power, the cheetah glides with elegance — the visual effect is different, more fluid, more graphic. Its slender silhouette against a backdrop of green vegetation is very photogenic.
• In a savanna or African-themed garden : tall grasses, ornamental grasses, dry and mineral vegetation — the cheetah is the symbolic animal of the African savanna. In a garden with warm tones, among pampas grasses and golden grasses, it recreates its natural biotope with immediate thematic coherence.
• In composition with big cats featuring the walking tiger and the black panther : cheetah in motion (beige-gold, lightness) + tiger in motion (orange striped, power) + black panther (absolute black, mystery) = the most complete and chromatically contrasted big cat composition in the catalog — three species, three colors, three very distinct silhouettes in the same space.
• On a large contemporary or design-themed terrace : its beige-gold tones and regular spots give it a very contemporary graphic register. On a large terrace with clean lines, positioned at an angle or along a wall, it is the most "design" decorative piece in the entire big cat catalog.
• In a professional space with a safari or African nature theme : zoo, safari park, African-themed hotel, savanna restaurant — the life-size cheetah is a decorative attraction particularly well-suited to African-themed spaces, with an elegance and refinement that the tiger or panther do not have.

Q: How to distinguish the cheetah from the leopard in the catalog?

Two very different species. The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) has solid black spots on a beige-gold background, a slender silhouette on long legs, a small head, and the characteristic black "tear marks" from the eye to the mouth. The leopard (Panthera pardus) has rosettes (ringed spots with a lighter center), a stockier and more muscular silhouette, a wider head. Both are in the catalog — distinct species with two silhouettes and two coats that are immediately distinguishable.

Q : Can this sculpture stay in an outdoor garden all year round?

Yes — balcony & terrace and outdoor garden. The polyresin is tested down to -20 °C and the UV treatment protects the beige-gold tones and black from stains. Its weight (10.5kg) and quadrupedal posture ensure good stability outdoors. Its narrower silhouette (40cm wide) compared to the lying tiger gives it a slight sensitivity to wind on the flanks — a slightly sheltered location is preferable for very windy displays.

Q : What is the difference between this cheetah and the walking tiger in the catalog?

The species and morphology. The walking tiger (140x43xH65cm, 15kg) is heavier, taller, and longer — its massive power and orange stripes dominate. This cheetah (128x40xH50cm, 10.5kg) is finer, shorter, and lighter for its length — its aerodynamic elegance and beige-gold spots bring a radically different register. In the same space, both create a strong contrast between two predator philosophies: brute strength vs speed and grace.

Q : Is the cheetah a threatened species?

Yes — the cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is classified as "vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List, with an estimated 7,000 wild individuals, in continuous decline. It is one of the most threatened big cats in Africa, particularly sensitive to human pressure on its habitat. Its presence in a decorative collection can raise awareness of the importance of its protection.

Q : Is this a suitable piece for a contemporary or design-themed garden?

It is even the most suitable feline from the catalog for a design or contemporary space. Its beige-gold tones, its regular and sharp spots, and its fine and aerodynamic silhouette create a very contemporary graphic effect that fits perfectly into a minimalist garden with modern lines, using materials like steel, concrete, or natural wood. The cheetah is the most "design" feline in the Garden Nice catalog.
