Still some way to go on this tale folks, let me know if you're getting bored
Two cheetahs are now sitting it out, the wilde having been exhausted (partly the effort in the struggle, partly the oxygen starvation) leaving the last to hold the throat for the final minute or two.
This is probably the worst (technically) of the sequence - camera shake, less than ideal angle of view and poor composition (not sure what my excuse is, but maybe down to an 8 year-old in an orange baseball cap sticking his head out of the window of the car in front - the defence rests m'lord).
Hi Andrew,
Another fine shot in the series.
I agree that it's not technically as strong as your previous ones however it show the cheetah's throat hold off perfectly.
This is a much more powerful image at the difference in size of each animals head is stark, yet the carnivore obviously has the upper hand (at this stage)..

I reckon it still has some value tho'
