Success
Photograph by Anup and Manoj Shah
A Thomson's gazelle falls victim to Amani, who now must find cover to protect her meal. A kill in plain view can attract scavengers—lions, hyenas, jackals, and vultures. The wide-open spaces on Kenya's grassy plains provide ample room for a high-speed chase: Cheetahs can easily outrun an ungulate, but gazelles make sharp quick turns that outmaneuver a cat sprinting at top speed. Cheetahs catch their targets about half the time.
