Well, actually not bringing home the bacon!
Dave's and Carol's posts have inspired me to go back and try and finishing editing my Tanzanian shots this summer. We had excellent luck with cheetahs, albeit not a successful hunt. This isn't one of my best shots - too much heat shimmer and even at 1/1600 I haven't frozen the cheetah. A cheetah doesn't really hunt a warthog since a cheetah kills by strangulation and a warthog's neck makes it near impossible for a cheetah to strangle. Warthogs know this and will walk right up to a cheetah and force it to move. This cheetah, however, was having a bad day since the warthog had just alerted gazelles to the cheetah's presence, and the cheetah proceeded to let the warthog know where it fit on the food chain. 1D2, 500 & 1.4TC, 1/1600 at f8, ISO 400 (rotated about .7 degrees but otherwise full frame horizontally and cropped to pano).
