Marina Cano's Image
Marina Cano (Spain) stumbles upon a group of cheetahs after they’ve caught a Günther’s dik-dik in Samburu National Reserve, Kenya.
Marina watched the three young cheetahs practise their hunting skills while their mother looked on.
The dik-dik was tossed into the air and killed just seconds after Marina took the photograph.
Cheetah cubs spend their first two months hidden in a lair while their mother hunts.
At around a year old, they begin joining her, learning how to stalk and which prey to pursue. This is a crucial stage in their journey to independence.
