Cheetah the Deadly race





















Travel with national geographic to the vast kgalagadi Transfrontier Park that straddles South Africa and Botswana. Here cheetah have pursued their main prey, the springbuck, for thousands of years, honing each other to ever greater skill and speed. This is a spectacle of grace and beauty as the fastest land animals on earth race to survive in the ancient riverbeds of the Kalahari. There are intimate and dramatic moments too; rare footage of cheetahs fighting, courting and mating; a gemsbok cow rescues her calf from two cheetahs as they try to strangle it; a cheetah is tossed on the horns of a wildebeest mother as she attempts to save her calf.

These contests between predator and prey are among the great natural dramas of wildlife viewing.
