#090 - Silent Cry

Serengeti, Tanzania - 2024
 
Perched on a low rise, the cheetah lets out a short call, its mouth just open enough to show the sharp teeth built for the hunt. Its spotted coat blends easily with the tall grass, a perfect mix of camouflage and speed.
Against the pale sky, it feels like a quiet part of the landscape. Strong, calm and completely at home.
 
Everything about the cheetah is made for movement. The long legs, lean muscles and sharp claws all hint at what it is capable of. Even at rest, there is a sense of tension in its body, as if it could launch forward at any second. A predator always ready.
