The beast leaped resolutely towards the prey. Judging by the degree of the slanting limbs of the cheetah, and by the breathtaking desperation of the antelope, its game, their speed could well have topped 70 m/h.

The black spots on the light-brown coat, especially the bulged ones on the brawny tail due to the formidable dash, establish the predator’s unrivalled position among its mammal kin in a deadly fashion: the more “zoomed” in, the more doomed.
The tail, lifted high up in a near-vertical way, defies all disobedience. Looking dominantly upon the target, the killer casted the claws, and sentenced it, irrevocably.
