Serengeti National Park

I grabbed this shot this past January. We had a group of three male cheetahs amongst our Land Rovers, and this shot was taken just after we witnessed them chase down a reedbuck and do a takendown. After the feast, they were looking for some shade to relax in.

This is a really neat documentary shot to give folks an idea of what you can see on a safari. The nearer cat's belly is absolutely bulging! Cool shot.

An (weak) attempt at humor based on the General Forum thread titled (something like), "Do you really need 4WD?" The thread started with a link suggesting all SUVs/4WDs be banned as gas guzzlers (a viewpoint I clearly don't share). I thought you had commented there, but perhaps not.
