Mom with cubs

During my recent trip to Masai Mara in August I was fortunate enough to see and photograph this Mother Cheetah with four very young cubs.

The cubs were all over the place besides within the frame. We were with the cubs for over 90 mins but couldn't get even one clear picture of all the cubs with Mom.

This was in the Mara Triangle and the cubs seemed to be about 3-4 weeks old.

The mortality rate of Cheetah cubs is as high as 90% due to threat from other predators like Lions, Leopards and Hyena's.
