The Spotted Beauty! - a photo on Flickriver

            This lone male Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus), was seen relaxing on an anthill early in the morning just after sunrise. 
Cheetahs normally sit in a vantage point to view the surrounding area for any small prey which they are quick to chase down.
 
This lovely male Cheetah was photographed yawning early in the morning in the Musiara area of Maasai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya.
