Description: I took the photo when the cheetah was flanking two Elands females.

Story from behind the lens: Early in the morning we encountered two cheetahs who were heading towards a group of female elands with some young ones grazing peacefully. We positioned ourselves and waited for the gheparti to set off in pursuit of a young eland. I took the photo when the cheetah was flanking two females. Unfortunately, even before the cheetahs started eating their prey, a group of hyenas arrived and stole the prey. But even they couldn't even start the meal. A lion arrived and in turn stole the prey from the hyenas and ate it in peace.
