A Skeletal Cheetah with a Dwarfed Cub Stares at Family of Cheetahs Gorging

Under the cool of acacia a muscled cheetah and two fat cubs gulp chunks from a carcass of Grant’s gazelle.

Across the dirt road a wasted cheetah mother and one shriveled cub sit on sharp haunches and stare under a searing sun. No snarls, no rancor here.

Cheetahs do not challenge another cheetah’s kill. Ones bound to watch others thrive. The starving mother and cub will shrink away.
