Botswana, October 2011. Nota bene: If you want to see (and hear) a babay cheetah mewing, I suggest that you go and visit YLoveBigCats.
If you are interested, you can find some of my images about big cats (lions, leopards, cheetahs) on my new web site YLoveBigCats.com. As you certainly have noticed, some of these images come from my recent trip to Kenya (Masai Mara).
Back from Masai Mara
After about 10 days out of France, I am back from the Masai Mara National Reserve (in Kenya). I brought back about 30 GB of wildlife photos (around 1700-1800 images) to be sorted out in the coming days. You can expect series of published images here on a regular basis.
Kenya in photo safari
You will probably notice a little slow down in publication of posts here in the coming days: I am travelling for a few days to Kenya in order to shoot photos in the Masai Mara National Park during the great migration of herbivores (wildebeests and zebras, mostly). I will be there with Alain Pons, wildlife… Read More

Did you ever see cheetah cubs? Here are six of them in one single video. video link
Yesterday, we were speaking here about prehistoric big cats in places where they disappeared (e.g. Europe). Today, I want to point at a surprising proposal made by Josh Donlan. Recognizing that many big cats were roaming in North America tens of thousands of years ago, he want to re-introduce lions, cheetahs, elephants and other large… Read More
Found on Tretrapod Zoology, a series of articles about prehistoric felines among which one can find big cats like lions, pumas, jaguars, cougars, cheetahs or leopards on continents where they totally disappeared later. Europe, where the sabre-tooths, lions and leopards are Pumas of South Africa, cheetahs of France, jaguars of England

Exercise a cheetah
A zoo cheetah cannot be released in the wild if it is not able to hunt. And this is the fastest running hunter – if trained. So, how do you exercise a cheetah in order to prepare it for possible wild life? Video link
This is exactly how Jonathan Scott will now be known thanks to a bad accident involving one SUV car, one open roof and one cheetah. Link to YouTube I am happy that my own experience in Kenya -while being a similar- did involve more photo shooting… and only that.
Neatorama had a mad streak of posting with all these images and videos about big felines in weird contexts. It’s no longer wildlife, but it’s zazzy enough to show. In this order, you will find below: The leopard in the bed The cheetah in the car (video) The lion in the tub The tigers and… Read More
Shooting a few good images is quite often a matter of time. The following sequence extends over slightly more than an hour (and sometimes, fed with waiting the photographer looks for a different subject like in the last photo of the series) and we only stopped because night was about to come: Cheetah Cheetah Cheetah,marking… Read More
Simon King, BBC presenter of Big Cat Diary, was recently attacked by a cheetah. It is a very unusual behaviour for an animal who tends to be easily afraid by large animals like a human. Read it all on BBC (video here). I am not unhappy that it did not happen to me last time… Read More
As all cats, felines from the Masai Mara National Park (Kenya) have fascinating eyes.
During my recent photo safari to the Masai Mara park, there is a time to be singled out. It allowed me to take the following photo. As a matter of fact, this magnificent female cheetah is less that two meters from me…
