Description
This cheetah cub is 4-5 months old and learning how to be an adult from its mother. The mother had chased down, caught, and dragged a gazelle under a tree. This young one was stopping for some water, but looked back toward mom to make sure she wasn't too far away. When the mother was calling to the young ones after the kill, it actually sounded like a chirping sound, it was fascinating. This is in the Masai Mara in Kenya in a conservancy that protects the animals in their habitat.
