Tarangire National Park, Tanzania.

Pity about the long grass, but I did not feel inclined to move it.

Anthony, the second image is amazing! I wouldn't move the grass either, it is their natural surrounding :)

Beautiful photos Anthony. leave the grass just like that, they were in the wild, not a zoo. It gives the environment authenticity.

Yes, agree.  Impressive complementary colours between the background and the Cheetah's  -  (apart from the tongue  ;)

Jacov, Fanie, John, Erik, thank you for your comments.

§2 is also my favourite, but I wanted to show part of the sequence.

Other cute animals to follow.
