A fight erupts among a group of cheetahs in the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area, in Tanzania. One of the cats leaps four feet in the air during the confrontation between two males. The encounter was a harsh lesson for the younger cheetah, who had been challenged by the older male. British photographer Elliott Neep captured the moments the family of three were approached by the cheetah. He says: “The sequence looked great on the camera and I had a massive grin on my face. When I reviewed it later on the big screen, the grin was even wider as I could now see the fur literally flying when the cheetah was in mid-air.”
