Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) Head Close Up, Namibia, Africa
The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus), also known as the hunting leopard, is a big cat that occurs mainly in eastern and southern Africa and a few parts of Iran. The cheetah is characterised by a slender body, deep chest, spotted coat, a small rounded head, black tear-like streaks on the face, long thin legs and a long spotted tail. Its lightly built, slender form is in sharp contrast with the robust build of the other big cats. The cheetah reaches nearly 70 to 90 cm (28 to 35 in) at the shoulder, and weighs 21-72 kg (46-159 lb). Though taller than the leopard, it is notably smaller than the lion. Basically yellowish tan or rufous to greyish white, the coat is uniformly covered with nearly 2, 000 solid black spots

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense gaze of a Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) in stunning detail. The close-up shot showcases the intricate features of this magnificent big cat, which is native to eastern and southern Africa as well as parts of Iran. The cheetah's slender body, deep chest, and long thin legs are beautifully highlighted in this image. Its spotted coat, ranging from yellowish tan to greyish white, is adorned with over 2,000 solid black spots that create a mesmerizing pattern. The small rounded head with tear-like streaks on its face adds to the cheetah's distinctive appearance. Weighing between 21-72 kg (46-159 lb), the cheetah may be smaller than other big cats like lions but possesses incredible speed and agility. Known for its exceptional hunting skills, this carnivorous feline relies on its keen eyesight and lightning-fast sprinting ability to chase down prey across grasslands and savannahs. This particular photograph was taken in Namibia, Africa – a region known for its diverse wildlife and breathtaking landscapes. It offers a glimpse into the natural beauty of African national parks such as Masai Mara or Kenya's Maasai Mara Reserve where these majestic creatures roam freely. Daniel Osterkamp expertly captured the essence of this endangered species through his lens, showcasing both their vulnerability and strength. This print serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect these iconic animals for future generations to admire in their natural habitat.
