This Cheetah was doing an early morning stretch prior to going out on his hunt on the Tshukudu Game Reserve in South Africa, not far from Kruger National Park.
About an hour after the image was made, he killed an Impala which we didn't witness, but got there in time to see him eat his as he was still out of breath
