Ground level view of Thomson's Gazelles (Cheetah POVs), to cut with Cheetah hunts (600 mm)
Female Cheetah kills young Thomson's Gazelle, quickly joined by male Cheetah (300 mm, 75 fps). Gazelle fawn eaten alive - various lenses, wind very strong, so 600 mm probably bumpy. Golden Jackal tries to get in on fresh kill. (Action continues on roll

Female Cheetah stalks and chases Thomson's Gazelles (herd of six), catches one female (all on 300 mm) - chase becomes very distant, in overcast light, and the "hit" is out of view behind shallow brow.
