Cheetah steals hyena’s food!

Hi Carel

Yesterday morning, only 1 km away from Rekero Camp, a hyena pulled down a topi. A few minutes later, Malaika and her three cubs pushed him away from his delicacy, which is quite rare and uncommon since its always hyenas which are documented stealing cheetah food!

Regards,
Onesmus
