Description: Two Cheetahs in a tender moment of closeness and amity, with a ray of light shining through a gap in the tree where they were lying.

Story from behind the lens: We spotted a group of Cheetahs in the distance and they proceeded to lay and rest under a large acacia tree. We spent a few moments with them, observing their interesting behaviour and interactions with each other. One of the Cheetahs stood up went to lay next to one of his brothers. At this moment, I was able to capture this tender moment of closeness and amity between them, with a ray of light shining through a gap in the tree where they were lying.
