Disappointingly, this is not some awesome sub species of cheetah kings. This is actually a recessive gene that produces this rare fur pattern mutation.

Conservationalists are racing to save the rare King Cheetah gene, along with the rest of the declining cheetah popultation. 

These are beautiful creatures. We need to make sure they stick around for the long haul.
