This scene in the Northern Serengeti - close to the Kenyan border - shows a cheetah mother with her three cubs. After resting in the shadow of a tree in the background the adult cheetah moved on in search of pray. The dead trees, the hills in the background and the dynamic clouds form a perfect stage setting for this family. The ambiance is one of duality - the rich colors of green and blue stand in contrast to the dead trees speaking of evanescence. The prospect of these cubs is unsure - there is a high cub mortality due to predation by other carnivores like hyenas and lions who are competing with the cheetahs for pray. As the cheetah is designed for speed, it is of light weight and stands no chance against the other big cats.
