21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Feeding the Family

Two subadult cheetah cubs carry off a baby wildebeest that had just been caught and killed by their mother. Although tremendously sad for the wildebeest family this was a resounding success for the cheetahs. Photographed in Southern Serengeti, Tanzania near Lake Ndutu in January of 2023.
