This is another one from my prized portfolio, Duma. Duma is Kiswahili for Cheetah. We came across this one and his brother several times across our Safari. One moment at the middle of the day however we found them once more sleeping in the grass. They were unusually at peace with us, and so we were able to drive up very close to them. This regal pose was shot, with the cheetah being just 5 metres away!

Youths are always important all around the world, regardless of location or even species. They are the future generations. Especially in terms of the world’s declining biodiversity, it’s very important for us to preserve and respect the youthful wildlife in their natural habitat.

How do some of us feel about the world’s creatures? Some of us may not care that much…but you have to look at photos such as these and thing: why are we allowing this to go on?

I want to do a meaningful post, and it still applies, but instead I’m going to let you in on a little secret:
…
It’s called dethroned because just before I took this photo this lion was stood up by a lioness.
