Continuing on from my last sequence posting this was the same cheetah mum the following day bringing down a young thompson's gazelle, finally her 2 young cubs had their first meal in (what we believed) 3 days.
Like with most chase/hunting scenes they happen at some distance, so at this web resolution the scale is quite small and loses a little of the impact, but I hope one can get some sense of the action depicted here.
I quickly changed from my 80-400 to my 500/4 in the last image as the moment of impact led to a large dust cloud obscuring the take down as often happens and captured the last minute struggle here, closer up.
