Photo by @andywcoleman // This cheetah cub made it up the tree fairly easily, but getting down took him a bit longer to figure out. He finally ended up taking a pretty big leap onto his sibling who was taking a nap down below. Their mother was getting some well deserved rest nearby. She will hunt for them and take care of them for up to two years, when they are finally ready to go out on their own. Taken while on safari at the Phinda Reserve in South Africa.
