Cheetah cubs chase a gazelle fawn that was given to them by their mother in order to help them hone their hunting skills. This image was captured by Exodus tour guide and wildlife photographer Paul Goldstein. He says: “It is often hard to watch, but cheetahs are desperately endangered, but Thomson’s gazelles are not - the day we run short of those fleet-footed antelope, we really have screwed up the planet.”Picture: Paul Goldstein / Rex Features
