I feel that they are trying to attract our female who does frequent this corner of our property from time to time
I was travelling along our boundary with the neighbouring Reserve and was fortunate to come across their two male Cheetah lying up close to the fence-line. They were very relaxed and allowed me to sit with them and observe their behaviour for a good while The light male The dark male. Also note the unique face spot patterns which is another method of positively identifying individuals The light male showing that they had recently killed and fed well Before they moved away they both scent marked against this nearby tree. Note the stain on the tree trunk. I feel that they are trying to attract our female who does frequent this corner of our property from time to time The dark male also took the oppurtunity of carrying out some claw sharpening All these images were taken using my telephoto lens and I was fortunately able to zoom past the intervening electric fence The sad reality is that fences exist between certain properties for various reasons. Thankfully the trend is to drop fences and consolidate land into larger tracts to more closely resemble what would occur in the "wild". Hopefully it will not be long before this happens between these two Reserves. Note the dark male on the left with the light male behind. Some movement has attracted their attention and they were busy investigating some movement in the distance It was a cold and overcast morning and tthis was the view of our mountain on my way home
