A Cheetah Takes Down an Impala After a Dramatic Chase

The pressure is on for Pobe to make a kill. She’s the only resident female cheetah in the Xudum area, but survival is still hard, even for a smart and experienced hunter like her. Cheetahs may be fast, but it takes energy, and they need time to recover after a chase. Fortunately, lying low is also the perfect hunting strategy when pursuing impalas.
