Angela Farnsworth, Cheetah Allopreening (ANIMALS 2026)

A cheetah mum has killed an impala and the cubs all join in with pulling apart and devouring the antelope. It is a bloody business and the cheetah cubs faces are covered in blood. Two of the cubs begin to lick the blood off each other and I have captured a series of these images.
