I bet they underreported the environmental mess left behind, too.

Cheetahs are normally solitary hunters, but these juvenile male brothers hunt together in South Africa. They will likely part ways within a year. Learn more at cheetah.org #nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography #canonphotography

Did you know hippos cannot swim despite spending much of their lives in water? Holding their breath for several minutes, they walk on the river bottom. Here, a bull, mother, and calf graze along the Chobe River, Botswana. #nature #wildlifephotography #africa #wildlife
