And she starts, two young on the heels, the other two hesitate and finally leave too.
For who, has never seen a cheetah start a run, it's really very impressive :shock:
I just miss the catch, I move back a meter or two, now it is possible, almost all the cars have disappeared ... and I fall on the neutralization of the prey ;-)

The youngsters arrive and the feast will begin, calmly, without getting angry or aggressive. What a difference between these great predators, some kill each other and others "taste" calmly.

Image the kill....

Image .... end....

Image something happened -O- ... all stood up

I stayed there for more than an hour :-)
will I find them on my return ?

On the way back, the Cheetahs are still there, lying at the foot of the tree and seem very interested in approaching Kudus O-/

Oh, wow, nan! Nobody stayed with the cheetahs, seeing if something comes up
for them to get agitated? That's very luck for you O/\

So, why did they get up? O-/ or :-0 ß
