Even cheetahs need a little walk-a-bout sometimes...

I don't know why everyone's so baffled by how this cheetah got out. Us cats are not only dangerously cheesy cool, we're also super intelligent. Like mere cages can hold us in when we're in search of a bag of Flaming Hot Cheetos:

ST. LOUIS -- St. Louis Zoo officials are trying to determine how a cheetah cub got out of its exhibit for a short time.

The cub escaped around 10:45 a.m. Monday on a day when the popular zoo in Forest Park was crowded, in part because of the unseasonably warm weather. The cub was found a short time later, about 30 feet from the exhibit. It was unharmed.

A zoo worker tranquilized the cub.

While the cub was out, zoo visitors were told to go into buildings, but the zoo was not evacuated.
