Cheetah Video



The cheetahs were on a starve day - they still chased the rope, remember the 'greyhound winch' that gets dragged for 150m or so to get them to run to stay fit? - but there was no meat on it today.

The cheetahs came back to their feeding compound for food, but didn't get any - they started to get moody - imagine if you weren't fed for the day!! It does them good tho' otherwise they would become lazy, and feeding everyday is bad for their livers!!

Fact - did you know that after a chase and kill the cheetahs have to wait 20 minutes before eating, their bodies are too hot and they pant too much. During that time lions and hyenas come and steal their food in 4 out of 10 hunts, how annoying is that for the cheetah!!!
