Robert HardingRoving wildlife photographer James Hager has been following cheetah families in East Africa, with beautiful results. James got close to mothers and their cubs as the adults cared for and taught the youngsters in the first year and a half of their lives. The world’s fastest land mammal, the cheetah is vulnerable to extinction as its habitat is being threatened by humans.
