Cheetah cubs and warthog
One afternoon, while viewing a female cheetah and her 5 cubs, we noticed a female Warthog and a piglet walking towards the cheetah. The female cheetah then moved off and left the 5 cubs on their own. The 5 cubs then noticed the warthog and gave chase and managed to corner the young piglet. As the cubs were only 12 months old they did not seem very sure of what to do next. The female warthog then returned and started chasing the young cheetah away while the piglet made a timely escape down a burrow. The adult cheetah then returned after hearing all the commotion and decided to move her cubs away from a very irate female warthog!.
