Not so cute Cheetah Cub

[Ken Watkins]

Taken at Selinda 8th October 2005

This Impalla had been brought down my the mother for the cubs to practice on. They did not get much practice as moments later a Hyena appeared and stole the Impalla.

Great opportunistic shot Ken, right place & time. Any Hyena thief images?

[Ken Watkins]

Marc,

I have some somewhere, but I am just off to UK for 12 days, so I will have to wait until I return to find them.

Your images from Africa have been outstanding and this is another example of the everyday life in that part of the world. Wonderful timing with excellent exposure and detail. Beautiful work Ken.

Cute animals gotta eat too. I like the eye contact and the sense of waiting present in both animal's eyes.
