She used it to train her four cubs to kill - which they eventually did. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/Tanzania+2012/Tanzania_20120303_05390.jpg.html Immediately after a kill - a steenbok: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/Tanzania+2012/Tanzania_20120304_06005.jpg.html Big cats suffocate their prey - but this is the first time I have seen one use its paws to block the nose as well. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/Tanzania+2012/Tanzania_20120306_07855.jpg.html The three males finished this wildebeest calf in 15 minutes flat. I got a dirty look from one of them... http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/Tanzania+2012/Tanzania_20120306_08079.jpg.html Please see large. Comments and criticism, as ever, welcome.
