Photo by @FransLanting A young cheetah licks his brother's cheeks stained with blood after they ate a gazelle caught by their mother. They are almost full grown, but the fuzz on their necks shows they are still juveniles. When cheetahs leave their mother after a childhood of a year and a half, males often stay together as a hunting coalition, but females become solitary and are faced with the double duty of hunting and caring for young. Go to @FransLanting and @ChristineEckstrom to see some of our favorite cheetah family images and learn more about their plight in life. #Cheetah #BigCats #BigCatsInitiative #Endangered #Wildlife photography
