Today it was good to see two young Cheetahs, a male and a female probably just separated from their mother. They are new in our area, but checking through my images I could verify that I had already seen them before along the Talek. Last time it was early January 2009, with their mother.  They were born around June 2008 and it is fantastic to see that they have become two good looking and healthy Cheetahs. When cubs separate from their mother, they tend to stay together through their first few months, helping each other in hunting. Then male and females will go their own separate ways.
