at 526mm, 1/2000 f/5.6, ISO 500, hand held. Serengeti National Park, Tanzania.

Abbiamo subito capito cosa sarebbe successo, non appena abbiamo avvistato la gazzella col suo piccolo appena nato. Mamma ghepardo in pochi balzi è arrivata al piccolo, che in un disperato istinto di sopravvivenza si è disteso immobile nell'erba alta. A nulla è servito, catturato e lasciato vivo è stato portato ai cuccioli di ghepardo per fargli fare un po' di allenamento alla caccia. Come spesso accade di vedere i cuccioli non avevano ancora sviluppato la capacità di uccidere e così, dopo numerosi mini-inseguimenti è tornata mamma ghepardo a porre fine al gioco, uccidendo il malcapitato e finalmente mangiandolo. Uno spettacolo molto crudo, in linea con tutto ciò che deve fare una mamma per insegnare la sopravvivenza alla sua prole.
