Double Trouble... these two young cheetahs are up to no good for sure. What a day filled with cheetahs..unreal!
Two young cheetahs, Maasai Mara, Kenya
Even though now the rains have come to an end, and the skies are no longer burned with blue, the savannah still brings the sounds of the elephants walking through the tall grass. Their steps are silent, but present, and the communication between them is inaudible to the human ear. The silence has never felt so good.
Olive's Cub.
Olive is one of the most photographed leopards in the Mara. She is also one of the best mothers, raising her cubs successfully to maturity. This is one of her cubs. I spent the morning with both of them watching her cub trying to drag a huge impala up a very large tree... finally with success.
There has been so much pressure on this top lady. Food as been scarce, and she cannot cross over the boundary into other territories to feed her family. Notch and his hooligans are just over the hill feeding on a hippo, and are as fat as houses. This lioness is diligent and strong. There is no doubt in my mind, that she and her family will get through it.
