When the catch is small, cheetah mother provides most of it to her cubs, taking a few bites. A hungry state stimulates the female to hunt again, and if succeeded, she eats to satiety. Yesterday Rani successfully hunted twice and both times on the young Thomson’s gazelles. Rani’s cub was still eating the first meal when the mother prepared for the next hunt. They ate the first prey in an open field, and the second one Rani took it to a bush. By the end of the day both were full and settled down for the night.
