Sweet Mother
by Anna de’Capitani
This incredible cheetah mother had six 5 weeks old cubs. She was so nice with them....they were jumping and playing on her every minute of the day. She was hunting 3 times a day to feed them. The photograph was taken in the Ngorongoro conservation area, Tanzania.
Equipment: Nikon D200 Sigma120-300mm f2.8
