非洲猎豹侧影,非洲,1999

中文注释：

这张惹人注目的剪影照片显现出一头走向一棵树准备午后小憩的猎豹的矫健的身影。猎豹是陆地上速度最快的动物，曾在亚非大地上大量生长，但它们的幼兽常为狮子等捕食，栖息场所也因不断增加的农庄和牧场而缩减。如今在自然资源保护者的帮助下，估计约有12,000只猎豹遍布在30个国家里。

英文注释：

Silhouette of African Cheetahs, Africa, 1999

A striking silhouette shows off the lithe form of a cheetah approaching a tree for a late afternoon slumber. The fastest land animal in the world, cheetahs once thrived in Africa and Asia, but lion predation haunts their young, and farms and ranching have reduced their habitat. Today an estimated 12,000 cheetahs live in 30 countries, helped by conservationists.
