REPORTING DATE; 09.01.2012
Two slender cats.
On a sunny afternoon, a mother cheetah and her older cub were spotted on a small termite mound sharing a very small shade which was not big to give enough protection from the sun. With the absence of any other predator, they were completely relaxed and appeared well fed to the extend that they did not even bother to look in the direction of some antelopes that were about 200 meters away. After some times, the mother casually walked away from the cub to change position. It seems the cub would soon become independent of the mother as they were almost of the same height level.
