Feeding on the move

Yesterday afternoon was a real good day on Ngala with sightings of a leopard with her two sub-adult males on an impala kill in the Timbavati river bed, two different cheetahs sightings and then top it all up one of the drives found the pack of African hunting dogs on the run with in minutes the pack had spotted a heard of impala but the prey was just to fast for the dogs and they all managed to get away safely. Not to worried, the dogs carried on with there hunt and a little further down towards the river they came across a female bushbuck, the case was on. Not to long after that the pack had brought there pray down and by the time we arrived half the bushbuck was eaten, not even 15 minuets later they were already up and running again retuning to the den were they would feed the pups and the one who stayed behind to help with the baby sitting.
