Starlings fighting :

Was very feroce… until death, but I went away just before the end

The wounded one retained the hunter with a leg...
with some curious / arbiter who was looking at them... or counted the points

Cheetahs

That day I had an appointment, ... At Kamqua at about noon ("Swiss time?, no, no! Leopard time ... you never know ... anything can happen in Kgalagadi)
And precisely this day, it was not a Leopard ... but 4 Cheetahs was on my way, even five, it remained hidden and ruined the hunting of the Cheetah Mom
