Survival ,Cheetah mother with four cubs

Survival of the fittest Photo shows Cheetah mother and her four cubs a beutiful but rare sight. The cheetah population is dwindling and climate change is attributed to this demise.Also it is well known fact that cheetah cubs do not survive and 90% perish before they reach adulthood . Several figures are given some say 50% perish within 3 months.The wild life authorities are trying there best to keep these beautiful cubs alive in Masai Mara Lets hope that we somehow preserve these cubs as they are the fastest mammal on land reaching speeds of 75mph.Just amazing
