A Nomadic tribesman of the San people strides across the hot Kalahari Desert — in the company of a cheetah he has helped to tame. Though they’re killers in the wild, these big cats are surprisingly easy to domesticate. The animals in these striking pictures, taken in the Naankuse Wildlife Sanctuary in Namibia, were hand-reared from cubs after their mother was shot by poachers five years ago. As a result, the three cheetahs — a male and two females — are happy to trot next to their handlers, men from the San tribe, on their daily three-hour walk across the desert.
