Helena 3 years ago

Wonderful capture! Magnificent. Since you seem to have spent a lot of time with theese animals - how often would you se a female with five young ones? I thought they usually only had two or three and often did not even manage to raise all of them?

Stephen Edds Thank you Helena. Not too often but it does happen. You are right, it is unlikely all will reach maturity :-)

I love the way the long grasses, left center, bend toward the cub in the rear. You have two images here (left, right) that enhance each other in a most propitious and pleasing fashion.
Superb image.

Vic Chapman 3 years ago

Having just arrived back from my 2nd safari I know how difficult it can be to capture cheetahs and yet here you have mother and 5 cubs! Congratulations to you and to the mother for raising them to that age.

Stephen Edds It helps having spent 10 years there Vic ! Thanks
