00:02 Cheetahs can run 60 miles an hour.
00:13 The ram can do about 50.
00:15 She's barely caught him by the leg.
00:17 The ram's sharp horns could easily pierce the cheetah's gut
00:24 and pound for pound, he's no pushover.

00:29 The ram has finished off
00:42 with a suffocation hold on his throat.
00:44 Scavengers spot the kill.
00:54 Instinctively, the female tries to cover the impala's scent
00:58 while she scans the grassland for the cubs.
01:01 Gunner's the first to hone in on the calls.
01:17 Trig and Stone follow him for two good reasons,
