Cheetahs are, IMHO, the photogenic animal of the African Savannah. For
starters they are active during the day, precisely for the reason that
the other big predators are not - they get their kills stolen quite
easily. I specially enjoy spending time watching cheetahs with cubs,
because even when they are resting, the cubs will tend to play
energetically, great to watch and photograph. Lastly, their movement
is pure poetry, the most graceful and speedy creature one can imagine,
incapable of an ugly move. Here are a selection of "family" shots, of
cheetahs relaxed and at play, taken at various times and on different
days:
