The Cheetah Whose Dinner Got Away

We watched it stalk a pair of gazelles, and finally run hard after one. But, it choose the wrong one. It went for the male gazelle, who was bigger, and appeared more alert and swifter than his mate. A bit further away, a pair of gazelles panted heavily as well. It is so easy to watch it and think of it as a show, but this is survival on the savannah, and a missed gazelle means another night hungry.
