Description: Cheetah mother, watching her cubs play

Story from behind the lens: When we met her, Neema had three half-grown cubs. It's demanding to protect and provide enough food for four mouths, so days are full of activity. This picture was taken early in the morning, when she had a little time to herself, watching while the cubs play.
