THE
COMPLETE 'LIFE CYCLE' of a kill can be fascinating. While
a cheetah and her cub fed on an impala, we
watched as kites, eagles and finally vultures
began to circle and then amass on the ground.
Once the gathered vultures had reached a
critical mass, they easily displaced the
cheetahs and
took over in force. This black-backed jackal,
however, was still hungry, and we watched
with amazement as he fought tenaciously for
his
share. |
