I love my mum- Cheetah - Masai Mara Kenya (By Sue)
3 cubs with their mother. Cheetah are extremely fragile creatures and it would be unlikely that all 5 cubs will survive. However this female looked in great shape and was clearly keeping her cubs well nourished. Constantly on the vigil for predator such as lion she would hide the cubs whilst hunting, make her kill and then call the cubs. The wardens within the Masai Mara were keeping a close lookout during the day but at night she was on her own. The other two cubs were up the tree stump to the right of this image.
