Before the Cheetah Kills, I am posting a last shot of Cheetah cubs climbing
a short tree:

The mother caught this hare, but did not kill it - see how she is holding
it alive by the neck. She used it to train her four cubs to kill - which
they eventually did.

Immediately after a kill - a steenbok:

Big cats suffocate their prey - but this is the first time I have seen one
use its paws to block the nose as well.

The three males finished this wildebeest calf in 15 minutes flat. I got a
dirty look from one of them...

Please see large.

Comments and criticism, as ever, welcome.
