Photo by @andywcoleman //. Happy Mother's Day to mothers everywhere. Being a cheetah mom is a round the clock job. We watched this cheetah spend the morning teaching her young cubs survival skills while watching for prey and other predators. Young cubs have a lot of energy and need a great deal of nourishment. It's up to mother to keep them fed. From this perch, this cheetah spotted an impala in the distance and was off on the hunt. Only half of a cheetah's hunts are actually successful, but this time she was able to catch her prey and bring it back to her cubs.
