The Tax Man Cometh A Cheetah s Hard Earned Meal Hijacked

It's been a morning full of beasts for some and the other's going hungry. That was epic. Oh no ways man. Don't push in the water. It's heartbreaking to see elephants being this destructive. But also in the same breath they need to eat and marula trees are known to be some of the tastier foods out here for elephants. Especially this time of year they are very rich in sugars because they are producing their marula fruit. Although it's sad to see an elephant like this very easily push over a large fully grown marula tree. At least they're going to get a pretty decent meal. But we're going to leave these elephants here because Taylor has managed to find a cheetah and we don't get to see cheetah often. So let's wrap it up here and get across there. You can't see the cheetah we can see the impala. We believe he is starting to stalk them. I don't want to get too close because we might upset or change the behavior of either the cheetah or the impala. Here he goes. That was epic. He took off after the impala. We just saw I believe he managed to catch an impala lamb. But there's a couple of hyenas right by here. So let's hope he was able to hold on to this carcass. But the chances of that are incredibly slim. Sadly for cheetah hyenas would very easily steal that carcass. So he dragged he somehow managed to keep the hyenas away from the carcass. He dragged it into the shade. But I think maybe that movement drew the attention of these two hyenas that have just stolen the carcass. I wish cheetahs could plant trees. Watch this, this is going to be awful. Go away. My next was God. Watch them. Yeah. So hyenas have cashed in on a smallish meal. It was an impala lamb. The cheetah is now just kind of walking off. He's settled in the shade over there. So let's get across and have a closer view of him now. So slightly unfortunate for that cheetah that I didn't even get a mouthful to eat. So he's certainly going to have to try and hunt again later on. We've left him resting in the shade there. Hyenas have finished off the last remains. There's a whole bunch of vultures now hoping to cash in on the scraps there. So it's been a morning full of feasts for some. And the others going hungry. So speaking of which, we're going to bombshell back to camp, get some brekkie and see what else we're able to find this afternoon. This has been epic. I've just spent the entire afternoon at a waterhole watching two little families have a whale of a time here. The first and most intriguing for me is a male jacana with three tiny little chicks. Just have a look at how tiny and epic these little things are. And the next is a common moorhen family. It's a pair. They've obviously met up, mated. I must actually double check if they are monogamous, whether they pair for life or not. But they've got a few little chicks. It's been a lot more difficult to get footage of them that are running around feeding here. Although nothing big or vastly action-packed, it still has been an exhilarating afternoon if you're interested in birds.
