I love observing and photographing cheetah cubs at play. This cub was very entertaining.
One of the interesting things about all cheetahs is the tear tracks. I checked to see if there was anything written about why those tear tracks evolved and found that of all the big cats their hunting is almost always limited to daylight hours and the tear tracks help their eyes cope with the glare of the sun. Their tear tracks act like the black grease and tape used by some athletes when they play day games. Evolution is an interesting subject.
