Cheetah nurses her four month old cubs. It was a warm evening in the Naboisho Conservancy, Maasai Mara, Kenya, as the cheetah family settled down and the hungry cubs could have a good feed. The mother had not hunted for a few days and was clearly very hungry herself but her cubs came first. This was the first litter for this young cheetah. She had had six cubs originally but her inexperience had meant she had lost two along the way. However, she had done very well to get four cubs to four months of age. So pleasing to see how comfortably this cheetah nurses her four month old cubs
