Cheetah laps up water from a swimming pool with his brother (3)

This thirsty ‪#‎cheetah‬ fancied a change from its usual drinking hole...and slouched over the edge of a swimming pool to take a sip at Tshukudu Game Lodge near Hodespruit, ‪#‎SouthAfrica‬.

Photographer Tracey Jennings, 44, took these shots as she was relaxing at Tshukudu Game Lodge in Hodespruit, South Africa. The lodge is close to the Greater Kruger National Park, home to many big cats and wild animals such as cheetahs.

Cheetahs are the fastest animals on the planet. They have been clocked at 75 miles per hour when chasing their prey. But they are an endangered species, partly because of the loss of much of their habitat.
