It appeared as if the cheetah got two meals for the price of one.
The springbok ewe which they had caught had clearly been pregnant and the unborn calf is clearly visible in these pics
Really sad, I know, but then that is nature
We were with them for about an hour and a half before we left them under their tree

Rooiputs February Males
Pair 1 - 4/27/17 South of Leeuwdril
Two males appeared to be eating something on the ground and "spitting out" pellets (??). Walked over the dune thereafter.

Rooiputs February Males
Here's Pair 3 - 5/15/17 At Rooiputs waterhole area
2 males on fallen tree, marking territory as they walked South. One has a wound on rear thigh area and one has a piece of its ear torn and looks like an eye wound on one of them, but seemed okay despite this.

Corinne and Hamri mixing their 2016 litters
There isn't that much really that we know for sure. What we do know, however, is that Matthew saw Corinne with all of her four cubs on the 14th of November. The next day he saw her again, but with only two cubs left. Of course we assumed, that the other two had fallen victim to lions or leopards. But on the 2nd December a post on Facebook appeared showing a cheetah mum with four cubs on the Auob side. (It's linked from the cheetah sighting index here.) Big confusion, obviously! It turned out that it was Hanri who had now four instead of two cubs and it turned out that the additional two cubs were Corinne's.
So, in the night of the 14th to the 15th November 2016 Corinne and Hanri met up somehow somewhere in the northern Auob. Why Hanri ended up leaving with two of Corinne's cubs will forever be their secret.
Even though we would have been able to stitch the story together because there was also BluTuna and katydownunder in the park at the same time and both saw Corinne on the 15th too, I think we're incredibly lucky that it was Matthew himself.
