We had a special theme on Facebook during this particular week - all about Cheetahs...and the hashtag to use was #CharmingCheetahs.

We received some great high quality photos of Africa's fastest mammal - yet this moment captured by Daryl Dell stood out...the look of disdain on the cub's face as mommy is cleaning him just appeals to every parent out there! Check out more of his work on his FACEBOOK PAGE.

Facebook Pic of the Week: 5 to 11 May 2014

Anyone keeping their eyes on the theme last week on the AFRICANature Facebook Page couldn't help but smile at the theme we were running and the quirky images being shared by our community...

The theme was all about Lazy Lions, those kings of the bush who sleep up to 20 hours per day. And what's more, you actually had to post photos of them being lazy and useless and sleepy...anyone who's been on safari knows that the majority of your lion sightings end up being a snoozefest so we knew the submissions would come in thick and fast. Using the hashtag #LazyLions, we received some great photos, and here are our two featured photos of the week.

This lazy flat cat was photographed by Gerhard Steenkamp in the Kalahari. Look at that "rub my belly" pose! You can see more of Gerhard's work on his website: www.gerhardsteenkamp.com

Our second choice for this week goes to Mark Bridger. How uncomfortable does that bed look to you? This lioness was photographed in the Mara Triangle in Kenya last year. Residing in the UK, more of Mark's work can be seen on his website: www.bridgephotography.co.uk
