Cheetah Family Portrait
Uploaded: May 10, 2009 04:23:11
Tanzania, Africa, safari in the Serengeti. This was the most amazing sight of the safari. This mother cheetah with her four young posing on the termite mound. They were actually scouting and later we watched the chase and kill. It was truly the Discovery Channel Live!
