小憩的猎豹，纳米比亚，1998

一群苍蝇正打扰这这头猎豹的饭后小憩。遇到危险时这种大猫多半会选择逃跑而不是对抗。“人类才是他们的最大的威胁”，保护人员Laurie Marker说，“猎豹在野外能存活与否，最终取决于我们。”

英文注释：
Cheetah Catnap, Namibia, 1998

"Not even a swarm of flies disturbs a cheetah's after-dinner catnap. Most delicate of the big cats, cheetahs choose to flee rather than fight when confronted with danger. "People are their biggest problem," says [conservationist] Laurie Marker. "Whether cheetahs thrive in the wild or are lost in our lifetime is ultimately up to us."
