If Ikea Toronto had a cheeky monkey prancing around in a stylish shearling
coat last week, Dubai was one up over the weekend with an exotic cheetah
casually hanging out of a car window, while being chauffeured around the streets
of Jumeirah.
Such was the sight last Friday with onlookers stopping dead in their tracks, with one Dubai resident, Asma Khan, who witnessed the incident, saying: “It was insane. I was casually taking a walk when I noticed people pointing at something in a car. When I stepped up to look, it was a cheetah!
“I was so shaken up, I couldn’t even remember to lift my arm and take a picture.”
The casual joyride of an exotic animal isn’t a new story in the UAE, with this year alone seeing several highly publicised incidents including a lion hanging out of car window on the Jumeirah Beach Residence stretch back in February, while in that same month a tiger was also snapped, glaring out from a front passenger window in Dubai Marina.
