Yawning cheetah

Cheetahs form part of the ‘super-seven’ (the big-five animals plus wild dogs and cheetahs). These are the animals most people would like to see on safari as they are dangerous and/or exciting to watch The name of the game in wildlife photography—whether you’re trying to capture a herd of elephants in Amboseli or squirrels in your backyard—is patience. This world’s fastest land animals is hard to catch on camera but Huzeifa Ganjijee (thenomadkenya) managed to capture this at Masaai Mara National Reserve. It might look scary but this beautiful creature was merely yawning. A stunning Pic with vibrant details to match the generosity of the sun rays. To successfully photograph cheetahs you need to be able to understand a bit of their behavior so you can anticipate the action.
