We had been closely following this female cheetah over the last 3 days and as far as we could tell, (noticeably the distinctly flat tummy) she had not made a kill in this time, with 2 four month old cubs to feed she was becoming increasingly frustrated.
Twice before, on the previous days, her kills were stolen by hyena and she now attempted to take on this impossible task of bringing down a zebra foal with mum right by it's side,
I was still very impressed that she would even make such an attempt, it was all over in a few seconds, not before I managed a few frames of her futile attempt.
