Feeding frenzy

The talk was over and it was time to feed. Just before drove out here, we were shown how the food was prepared: seven huge chunks of meat sprinkled with egg shells or vitamins (to supplement a diet normally rich in other organs). One by one the two tourists hurl the meat into the air and either one cheetah makes a leap to catch it or two or three launch themselves together and tussle over the slabs of zebra meat. At no point do we feel in danger or expect them to jump in, but in theory they could. I can't quite believe we've only been here two days and already we get to see so much of the cheetah. Something I feared we might even miss. These animals are a delight to watch and clearly the sexiest of the big cats.
