Dinner Time - a photo on Flickriver

Dinner Time

            Nature can be harsh to witness, but everything works together for the its overall balance. This scene played out late afternoon into early evening on my first day in the Mara region. This is a female cheetah named Kweli and her three cubs. Kweli started after a gazelle, but the hunt failed. She swtiched her focus to a herd of impala and before we knew it she had dinner for the family. It was truly incredible to watch how little she could do for close to a half hour following. This period allowed her cubs to start the meal before she was able to join in later.
