Live and suffer - a photo on Flickriver

Live and suffer

We were traveling in the Khwai reserve and had spotted a female leopard when we received a radio message that a young leopard had captured an impala fawn.
We were quickly at the scene.
The fawn was still alive, the young cat didn't quite know how to kill the poor thing.
Hunting was one thing, killing was another.
How did mom do that again???
We were able to watch the drama for 90 minutes, at the end the cat dragged the antelope, which was still alive, onto a tree trunk.

I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.

The world is like a book and those, who do not travel, only read the first page.

If you only visit 2 continents in your lifetime, visit Africa, twice.
