Strutting about like some kind of supervisor, this cheetah appears in command.
More likely it feels peckish and is looking for something to eat. The game reserve restaurant isn’t far away. Unlikely though that he will be served there. The likely meal options have all made themselves scarce. Still, the short-cropped green grass indicates that the prospective meal should have decent meat on it. There may be some work to do first, however, to come within reach of suitable prey.
Cheetahs are renowned for their speed, faster than 100 kph over short distances. This means they do not have to rely on cleverly laid plans to the same extent as the slower hunters resort to.
It is said that there were cheetahs on earth as long as 4 million years ago, earlier than any of the other big cats found in the wild today. Restricted to Sub-Saharan Africa, cheetahs used to roam all of Africa and Asia as far as India before humanity became the great exterminator (www.outtoafrica.nl; www.onekind.org).
