20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Cheetah watching me.

Cheetah on a sand dune. This picture of the cheetah was taken in Namibia, Africa. These beautiful animals are an endangered species in this area. There has been a drought in the area as the plants reflect, however the contrast between the big cats and the sand drift is beautiful in its own way. There are sanctuaries for these beautiful cats to make sure they survive.
