Don't you just think cheetah cubs are the cutest bundles of fluff ever? This little one was photographed at Leopard Hills Private Game Reserve in the Sabi Sands (South Africa) earlier this year.

I left mom in for some context and symmetry - I know many might find her distracting, I don't.

Techs:
Nikon D3s
Nikkor 500mm f4 VR-II
f5.6 | 1/400 SS | ISO-2800

Definitely cute! I love the symmetry you achieved by including mom's face, works for me!
