Scanning The Marsh

Gallery: WildlifePosted January 10, 2016162 views5 comments

One of two Cheetah siblings scans the marsh before them for potential threats or the chance for a hunt. This sighting took place very early in the morning before the sun was out so light conditions were extremely low. The image was captured in Ndutu during the photo tour I led in February last year. The Wildebeest Calving Season was in full swin so predator action was at it's highest.

I like the feeling of this one Mario. It's nice to get a small peek into the life of a cheetah and how they see the world.

I believe I would re-title as "The Thinker" because this makes me wonder what this cheetah is thinking about! cool

It has nice feeling of serenity, as well. Thanks for posting it.
