Anticipation

 

I met Malaika the cheetah very briefly in September 2013 and this is my favourite portrait of her. She is extremely relaxed around vehicles, and will even climb on them given half the chance, so it was not difficult to get pretty close to her for a nice closeup. This photo showcases the distinctive cheetah “tearmarks”, an adaptation to reduce the sun’s glare.
