Description: The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is one of the most fascinating predators in the world. This adorable baby cheetah is curiously peeking out of the tall grass. The photo was taken at a private cheetah breeding station near the Addo Elephant Park, where these endangered animals are cared for and later released into the wild. Cheetahs are the fastest land animals, capable of reaching speeds of up to 120 km/h. Unfortunately, they are highly endangered due to habitat loss, poaching, and conflicts with farmers. Let yourself be captivated by the grace and beauty of this majestic creature.
