She parked the cubs in the high grass and disappeared.

Lying with blood on her face with her cubs around her, panting for about ten minutes. (Cheetahs  can run @ 115 KpH for about two hundred meters, then they run out of oxygen and need to recover for a while)

That, Brent, is the real  fascination of wildlife photography - disturb the animals as little as possible and get the shot nevertheless. If you do it right they will ignore you, although they will sometimes look you over, assessing whether you are a threat, before carrying on.

 

I hate the goings on in the touristy parks, Kruger, Masai Mara, Serengeti part of South Luanga, etc. The animals are so harassed by tourist (and tour operator!) pressure that they change their behaviour. For instance Cheetahs in the Masai Mara have taken to night hunting, to which they ar singularly unadapted, because they attract a circle of dozens of  landrovers and vans each time they show themselves, making it nearly impossible to get prey in the daytime.
