Zhayynn James: " A cheetah mother and her sub-adult cub use a termite mound as a convenient place to rest, while still observing their surroundings. These elevated vantage points not only help them scout for prey, but also the competition. Cheetahs are top predators in the savannah, but they cannot defend themselves against other predators like lions or hyenas. So when they spot a potential threat, they clear out of the area in a hurry. "
Jens Cullmann: " ‘Thinking of speed’ These guys can reach speeds up to 120 kilometres per hour; they are the fastest animals on land. Would there be time for athletics practice for these two young cheetahs? . "
James Souchon: " In an area not well known for it’s cheetah viewing we have been very lucky recently to have had some great sightings. We found this male one afternoon on one of the roads less travelled on the reserve and were completely captivated as his eyes reflected a brilliant orange as he walked directly towards the setting sun. "
Subhash Nair: " Survival of the fittest! - Not all the scenes from the wildlife are pleasing to our mind. Many of you will be thinking, why can't these people try to save that poor impala? But then what about the Cheetah? "
Daniel Rosengren: " A Cheetah cub posted on a termite mound together with its mum. It almost looks like it has been dipped in mud, but, this is the way the cheetah cub fur looks. A theory is that it mimics the fearless and respected honey badger that is black with a grey back. This way the vulnerable cheetah cubs could have a better chance of avoiding being attacked by other predators.
Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. "
Beverly Joubert: " The Watcher. A cheetah's honey coloured eyes are one of its most striking features. These sleek cats have remarkably sharp eyesight and can distinguish prey from some distance off. Cheetahs will often use termite mounds or fallen logs as vantage points to survey their landscape in the perpetual search for food. They typically hunt in the daylight hours to avoid clashes with night-roaming predators that will easily chase the slender cats off their kills. When brute force is not an option, adaptability and cunning are the next best solution. "
