I posted a photo of this leopard last June with its head pointed in the direction of the camera. I tend to prefer portraits of animals showing both eyes, but I like this profile pose, so here it is. It was taken as the sun was setting.
While I went to Kenya last month mainly to photograph the big cats, there were times when I shot other subjects. That was the case with this spotted hyena. I don’t think many people think of hyenas as great subjects to photograph, but this one had the benefit of that golden hour of sunlight like the male lion I posted a week ago. This hyena was photographed at 6:50 a.m. local time. Sunrise was at about 6:30 a.m. then, as I recall.
I photographed this cheetah cub playing with its mom last month while spending four great days at Gamewatchers’ Porini Mara Camp in the Ol Kinyei Conservancy in Kenya. As I recall, my guide, George, told me this cheetah mother started with six cubs but lions got all but this one. I hope it makes it to adulthood.
A lioness carries her cub to a new den in the Ol Kinyei Conservancy, Kenya. Mother lions normally keep their new cubs away from the pride for the first six to eight weeks of life and move them fairly frequently during that period to minimize the ability of other wildlife to smell where they are.
