Fine Art Wildlife Photography Print by multi-award winning photographer Sam Turley - Cheetah
Location: Imire Rhino and Wildlife Conservancy, Zimbabwe.
Description: In a historic move, Imire Rhino and Wildlife conservancy received two captive bred Cheetahs from a zoo in Canada.
After spending sixty days in a boma to acclimatise the cheetahs were released into the wider reserve. It was then my task to track and locate them every morning for monitoring purposes. I would get into their last known location at around 5am when it was still dark.
On this occasion, I arrived and it was eerily quiet, not another animal in sight. I slowly made my way along all the roads in the area looking for any sign of them. Nothing. After searching for almost two hours, right in front of me, Jabari walked out of the tall grass and onto the road.
The perfect Catwalk.
