Step back into the mid-20th century to witness a rare and majestic sight within the walls of the Jubilee Palace in Addis Ababa. While Emperor Haile Selassie was globally known as the "Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah," his royal menagerie extended far beyond his famous lions.
In the 1950s and early 60s, it was not uncommon to see the Emperor strolling through his gardens or posing for international photographers with tamed cheetahs by his side. These elegant cats were more than just pets; they were symbols of the Emperor's absolute authority and his unique connection to Ethiopia’s wild heritage.
