Description: The baby cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) showcases its grace and agility as it playfully glides over the lying tree trunk. This adorable predator is cared for by a cheetah breeding station near the Addo Elephant Park in South Africa, with the aim of releasing it back into the wild. Cheetahs are known for their impressive speed of up to 120 km/h and their distinctive black spots. Unfortunately, wild cheetahs are highly endangered due to habitat loss, poaching, and conflicts with farmers.
