This competition started out in the year of 1984 and it is ongoing up to date. Buddhini De Soyza, who was one of the commended photographers for her photo of 4 Cheetahs swimming rough waters spoke with Bored Panda. This was shot in a river in Kenya. The photographer’s teams have been scouting 5 Cheetahs walking up and down the river bank. After being exhausted waiting for hours, the team was about to leave when one leapt into the rapids and started swimming. Three others immediately joined the lead while one refused to, staying back on the bank.
The reason for this is that the greatest danger in these waters are crocodiles, so in order to avoid that they should face another danger, the rapids. The crocodiles are not found in the rapids but the photographer explained that these were very rough rapids than the usual choice of Cheetahs. She perfectly captured the brave 4 swimmers on their brawl with the rapids to make it to the other side alive.
