The Jamaican sprinter was on a four day safari in Kenya helping to launch a conservation campaign by the Zeitz Foundation.The double world and Olympic champion adopted a cheetah cub rightly naming it ‘Lightning Bolt’.Usain Bolt had initially toured the Nairobi Animal Orphange where he came face to face with full grown cheetahs.
Colin Jackson, a former 110m hurdle world record holder adopted an Eland at the same function hosted by the Kenya Wildlife Service.
When asked if he was afraid of cheetahs, Bolt said: "Yes, I was, but not anymore."
