Cheetah family feeding in the rain

This Cheetah family (Acinonyx jubatus, vulnerable) of the mother and her 2 sub adult cubs were very successful hunting as a team. In this photo they had just made a kill and given it was pouring with rain would stop eating occasionally to shake the raindrops off their fur. Olare Orok Conservance, Masai Mara, Kenya.

Cheetah siblings playing

I had been watching a Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus, vulnerable) family for several days and noticed that after every hunt the 2 sub adult siblings would play after they had eaten the kill. On this day it was pouring with rain but it didn't reduce the enthusiasm of the cheetahs, tearing around after the concentration of the hunt. Olare Orok Conservancy, Masai Mara, Kenya.
