JUMPING and bouncing off one another, these young cheetahs enjoy some harmless fun. Rolling around in the grass they certainly know how to enjoy themselves as they take on each other in a battle of the strongest.

'These one year old cheetah cubs were in a very good mood on this particular day,' says Elmar of Hamburg.
