There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

After a quick meal (because of the potential predators roaming around) I suppose... Cheetah of Kenya.

I came across this image of an ancient Syrian relief from Palmyra, in Alamy. Judging from the spots, it's a cheetah, rather than a leopard. To avoid clogging up this thread, I made this thread for the Asiatic cheetah.

Cheetah running after a gazelle into the tall grass. The two fastest sprinters of the African savannah and among the Terrestrial vertebrates. To the cheetah the advantage of the biggest burst of speed, to the gazelle the endurance... A 500 meters race with sudden detours.

With lions and hyenas going after bigger prey, and leopards looking out for gazelles or antelopes, aside from scavenging what smaller or weaker predators get, for a cheetah to hunt such a small prey as a rodent doesn't surprise me.

@BorneanTiger :

About #279: I don't say neither that surprises me. But if it runs after a small rodent I presume that only one time will be not enough. It will have to reiterate several times its effort.
