Usain Bolt adopts baby cheetah
November 3, 2009
The world record-holder in the 100 and 200 meters in a recent trip to Kenya adopted a baby Cheetah and named him “Lightning Bolt”. Usain paid $13,700 to formally adopt the 3 month old cub who was abandoned by his mother and will also pay $3,000 a year to care for Lighting Bolt, who will be raised at an animal orphanage in Nairobi.

Afraid of Cheetahs
Usain’s socialization with Cheetahs wasn’t smooth all the time though as during a photo shoot with Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga Usain looked nervous and almost beat a hasty retreat when a fully grown female Cheetah named Sharon seemed a little too friendly.
Jochen Zeitz the chief executive of athletic gear manufacturer Puma organized the visit to launch his charity’s campaign to preserve ecosystems.

Easy nuh!!!!!!!! World’s fastest man and world’s fastest animal….a suh yawdie stayyyy… wi hav it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Usain is sponsoring a cheetah for US$13700.00 and will be donating US$3000 per year to the development of the cheetah? interesting choice when there are so many other NEEDS in Jamaica. The Bustamante Childrens Hospital is in NEED of ventillators, Shaggy has been working acidiously with other persons in facillitating this need. What about You Mr. Honourable Usain Bolt? You choose to help a cheetah instead?
At least bolt cares about something. There are many many Jamaicans who have far more than Bolt and who contribute to NOTHING! and care about nothing and no one but themselves. By the way, can Kneil prove Bolt does not have a charity?
Apologies to k-neil. Can Izees prove or is Izees certain beyond a doubt that Bolt does not have a charity?How many charities should an individual contribute to? Don’t people have a choice as to the organizations they support?Izees has a right to his/her opinion just as Bolt has a right to his opinion and the way he spends his money.Maybe our lightening B is spending on cheetah baby so he can earn more money to spend on our kids!
