Dream Trip 2008: January

Great Travel Moment

On a trip last year to Botswana we came upon this magnificent cheetah who just caught and killed a zebra. She clearly was hungry and rather thin and looking forward to her meal. Unfortunately it was a brief one.... we watched her get about 4-5 bites in and as the sun went down a pack of hyenas approached. The hyenas ran her off and managed to devore the entire zebra in a matter of minutes all while making their laughing noises and fighting over limbs. All this was occurring about 5 feet away from our jeep. It was an extraordinary experience.
