Can you imagine the surprise for a Delta's baggage worker when she opened the cargo door to retrieve passenger luggage and found a cheetah running loose amid the luggage? Frieda doubts "here kitty, kitty" was the first thought in her mind or the first words from her mouth.

The cheetah was one of two being flown from Portland, Oregon to Atlanta, Georgia - the reason for the flight was not made known. The good news is the cheetah did not damage luggage and was able to be sedated by workers from the Atlanta zoo - where they were both taken there while the airlines work on getting them back to their owners.
