The cheetah cubs were extremely agile and bouncing around all the time -
great to see, but a bit of a hit and miss to photograph, as Ndutu was full
of shrubs about a foot tall, and a lot of the action would take place as
the cubs would be partially or completely obscured by the scrub. I felt
that a video recording would probably be more rewarding to watch than
stills. Anyway I shot plenty, discarded most, got a few I liked, and here
is a sample:

The cubs seldom could sit still:
