And our last two cheetah

For a total of 11 different individuals.
These two, mother and son, were lying on the road outside our lodge. Mom was limping on her left front leg. And her son, who looks pretty mature but is still apparently too inexperienced to hunt on his own, was noticeably upset and very protective of her. When we had to 'encourage' them to get off the road and to move into the grass he took up a vantage point above her and was clearly on the alert....not happy at all.
 
Then he just had to come down for a little reassuring snuggle.
 
Sure hope they both did OK.
