Hot Hazy Days, Oil Painting on Linen Canvas.

Three Cheetahs struggle through the heat of the day in Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania. The heat haze fades the distant backdrop of the Craters rim, leaving the cheetahs to sweat it out on the caldera floor. These big cats are the daytime hunters of the African plain, using their amazing speed to bring down prey such as Thompson Gazelle. However, some days seem more waring than others and such a hot hazy day as this can get the better of the cheetah making it a priority to conserve energy and avoid over heating.
