Description: The young cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) showcases its impressive agility as it gracefully balances on the lying tree trunk. This captivating animal is a resident of a private cheetah breeding station near the Addo Elephant Park in South Africa. The station rehabilitates orphaned or injured cheetahs with the aim of releasing them back into the wild. Cheetahs are the fastest land mammals, capable of reaching speeds up to 120 km/h. However, their existence is under threat due to habitat loss, leading to a significant decline in their population.
