Afternoon Cheetahs


Are they different from morning cheetahs?  :-)  YES!  Because they are followed by lions!

First things first - the cheetahs.  They posed for us quite prettily.

If I looked out the other side of the vehicle I saw some cool birds.  Yes, I know, it's bad form to look away from cheetahs - but I couldn't help it!

Okay, back to the cheetahs.  The cubs are so cute!  They make funny faces.

Nobody told the cubs that cheetah don't climb trees.

Then Sam got the call about the lions.  On the way, we paused briefly for a rare black rhino.

The lions were chowing down, much more calmly and politely this time.
