Cheetah Kill

Back to some Safari photos, taken back in January in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania.

 

We were incredibly lucky to witness this mother Cheetah take down a Thomson's Gazelle (I think it is a Tommie). The chase happened incredibly quickly, gazelle sprinting in panic, while the unlucky gazelle did not move fast enough. Out of frame is its nearly adult cub, who watched mom do the hard work and has started to feed.
