Young Cheetah

Taking into account the falling Cheetah population in Africa, we were extremely lucky to find a mother  with two young cubs you can sill see the white  "mane" o they must have been around 3 to 4 months.
Taken in Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe.

Lovely look at a wild looking teen(?) on the prowl. Like the open mouth and the placement of the animal in the open grass. Sorry to hear these beautiful animals are declining in population, but I guess it is not surprising since many other species are too.
