"Storm Watchers"

"I could watch a cheetah family for days, and that is exactly what happened on a recent safari in the Masai Mara in Kenya. These two cubs were having the time of their lives, constantly honing their skills through chasing and taking each other down.

To survive, they will need to learn nearly everything they need to know from their mother in their first two years. Cheetahs coexist with lions, leopards, hyena, and wild dogs, but always seem to come out second in any sort of interaction. Using the termite mound as a watch tower, this mother can survey her world looking for prey, danger, or simply admiring a storm rolling in." John Banovich
