This is a funny story I just saw on TV. The fastest man on the planet has adopted the fastest animal. Usain Bolt adopted a cheetah today and fittingly named it “Lightning Bolt.” (Great name!!)

Usain Bolt welcomed a new baby cheetah named Lightning Bolt into his life.

The Jamaican sprinter's sponsorship of the 3-month-old male cheetah is part of an effort to boost Kenyan conservation efforts of its famous wildlife, whose survival is threatened by trophy hunting, climate change and human encroachment.

The world record-holder in the 100 and 200 meters paid $13,700 to formally adopt the cub. He will also pay $3,000 a year to care for Lighting Bolt, who will be raised at an animal orphanage in Nairobi.



Really good story. As a person who likes animals it is nice to see he is giving back.
