One of three Cheetahs brothers, this one was alert to the fact there was a a possible meal available whilst the other two lounged about on the termite mound. Shortly after this was taken the Cheetah took down a 2-3 day old Impala, only then to drag it back some 400m to share it with it's brothers. Within 15 minutes all that was left of the impala was a front leg bone!!!
The grey in the BKG is the termite mound, some may not like the slight white patchy parts, however I have left them in to add a little interest to it, rather than s solid colour.
