Did you know that when cheetahs are content they purr just like an ordinary house cat? Full of surprises, these wild animals are as enchanting as they are resilient. Sadly, ongoing habitat destruction is putting their survival at risk. Our Numbered Limited Edition The Cheetah sculpture stands as a reminder of the animal’s beauty – and what we stand to lose if we do not work to protect it.

Despite their adaptability, tenacity, and impressive hunting skills, cheetahs are facing extinction – and not for the first time. While they managed to survive two previous threats, the ongoing loss of inhabitable territory is posting a renewed and serious challenge.
As the fastest land animals on earth, cheetahs need a lot of space for hunting, to be able to reach their top speeds, charge their prey, and make swift turns. Human farmland expansion reduces this greatly, affecting the species and putting their survival at risk. And while cheetahs are not picky settlers, happily at home anywhere from dry forests to the Sahara deserts, they fail to thrive in protected areas because they cannot compete with larger predators.
This leaves the magnificent purring cat in a very vulnerable position. Which is why now, more than ever, is the time to celebrate their beauty, recognise what is slipping from our grasp – and put cheetahs in the spotlight.

Ni ga boljšega kot prepoznali izjemnost te prekrasne živali s pomočjo umetniškega dela! Za razliko od drugih upodobitev, vključno z naturalistično SCS letno izdajo Gepard Mehira, se naša oštevilčena omejena izdaja kipcev ne osredotoča na edinstven vzorec, ki krasi kožuh te živali. V svojem izvirnem umetniškem prikazu se je namreč Martin Zendron, oblikovalec kristalov, odločil, da bo tipične karakteristike postavil na stran in se namesto tega osredotočil na izjemno anatomijo te divje mačke.

Lahno ukrivljen hrbet, nizko spuščen rep, glava, ki prečesava obzorje - gepard, ujet sredi giba. Njegovo sloko, mišičasto telo z dolgimi nogami nakazuje na zmožnost doseganja osupljivih hitrosti, medtem ko novi, barvni učinek Savana poudarja njegovo prekrasno barvo.

Z 20 cm višine in 40 cm dolžine je gepard mojstrovina, ki ne izkazuje zgolj spoštovanja do izjemne uglajenosti te živali, temveč tudi do njene vzdržljivosti in krhkosti. To je vpadljiv opomnik za lepoto narave - in za to, kako hitro lahko lepota mine. In z zgolj 1000 kipci, ki so na voljo po vsem svetu, je to prav poseben in ustrezen način, da se poklonimo tej veliki mački
