The wattled lapwing (a plover).

We came across a sea of clearly agitated wildebeest. After watching them for a few seconds we saw three cheetah brothers (as we found out) casually cruising through the herd. The sea of wildebeest parted ahead of the band of brothers. The brothers seemed in no hurry and the longer they strolled through the sea, the more agitated the wildebeest got…… and then ……

The three brothers walked into the herd of wildebeest as if they were just shopping for dinner… in about the same time as it would take a human to make a selection from the meat counter and put it in their basket, they made their selection and ran it down and killed it.

These guys waste no time whatsoever getting into their work….. basic fast food…..
Image
No messing around (so to speak) as they team up to rip open the rib cage so that they can access the meat and organs still stuck to the ribs or spine…..
Image
Not much left…..
Image
The next day we searched and found the same three brothers hanging in the grass enjoying the fruit(?) of their labors….. just lolling about.
Image
This brother took a minute to spray the tree between him and his brother…. Look close and you’ll see the spray….

I’m not hungry right now so I am content to just sit here and look at those wildebeest. In fact, shortly after this photo one decided to go for a short run after the wildebeest (apparently) just to enjoy the chase for a minute.

I’m so full and happy, I don’t really don’t need to go after those wildebeest today. I’ll run around for fun just to stir them up and to show my power over these silly critters. I’ll just loll in the grass.
