    This Gnu Calf is about to reach the end of its very short life. It was originally brought down by the 3 male Cheetah Coalition but they failed to kill it properly and then the Wild Dogs arrived!

    Three Cheetahs against 20 Wild Dogs is no contest, the Gnu was let go and attempted to run for its life, it did not get far, unfortunately the Dogs brought it down just in front of our vehicle making it extremely difficult to get any shots.

    This little calf's Christmas was not a joyful one!
    Dramatic stuff indeed Ken, at least you managed partial eye contact.

    Isn't that always the way......either too far or too close.
