Resting in the Grass - a photo on Flickriver

            Male cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus)  - one of two relatively young brothers traveling together in the Sabi Sands region of South Africa.  They caused a big stir with our rangers and trackers, as they are not frequently seen in this area.  There are large prides of lions and the  terrain is marshy and not supportive of cheetah's style of hunting.  It is surmised they left their mom and were wandering the reserves around Kruger NP looking for territory to call their own.  We encountered them over several days and there will be more pictures to recount our adventures with them.
