    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.

    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.

    Shame on the strong light. Great action. A sad but natural event. TFS.

    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.
