Cheetahs do much of their hunting during daylight hours, often becoming active in the cooler periods around dawn and dusk. Unlike lions and leopards, they rely primarily on their great eyesight to locate prey, and then of course, their acceleration and speed to close the distance. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 24-70mm lens (at 70mm) ISO 560, f/4.5 at 1/500th of a second.
