Description Meet A Cheetah
I have disabled downloads on all the images in this Journal, but have enabled the Print options, should people be interested in purchases.
I wrote about seeing a female cheetah and her two cubs at Phinda Vlei Game Reserve the last time I visited, in November 2014 ==>Β CHEETAH!Β . On this visit in July 2016 we were very fortunate to have three major sightings of cheetah, and to be able to get up close to mothers, cubs, and young males. Our Ranger, Matt, explained a great deal about the life of cheetahs, and I should like to relay some of that knowledge to you. I have been able to check much of what follows in literature on the Web, but some of the observations come first hand from Rangers and Trackers. Photographic light was generally very good, except for one evening when dusk fell quickly and I have had to use the black arts of photo-editing to make reaso

She was watching the arrival of a second vehicle, Coco. The Rangers had been o the lookout for this family for a couple of days, and knew they had gone to ground somewhere, but not where. Our tracker had found them, so others came to look. We went back next day, but they had gone.

Many thanks
