When it rains, predators often become active, taking advantage of the cooler conditions, with cubs in a playful mood and adults keeping watch for hunting opportunities.

Cheetahs are endangered, with probably fewer than 7,000 surviving in the wild in Africa today. Loss of habitat and their natural prey due to competition with humans and livestock is the greatest threat, along with the Illegal Trade in wildlife targeting cheetah cubs stolen from the wild and smuggled to the Middle East, where they are kept as exotic pets. Up to 300 cubs are taken each year, with the majority not surviving the traumas of their journey into captivity.

Another factor is the impact of high densities of tourist vehicles on a cheetah’s ability to hunt in the daytime. Vehicles also often drive too close to mothers with small cubs, particularly when they are discovered at a concealed den site, something that may force the mother to move her cubs with all the risks of predation that this can bring.

When your time is up! Scar running for his life - pursued by the Topi Plains males Blondie and Simba. His expression of fear and appeasement acknowledging that the odds - 2 against 1 - is too much, leaving him no chance of standing his ground - even in the heart of his territory. Scar eventually had to seek a very difficult existence among the Maasai herdsmen and other lion territory holders to the north of the Reserve beyond Musiara Marsh. The end for most lions - particularly old males - is inevitably a violent one, wounded by other lions, speared or poisoned in conflict with humans, trampled and horned by buffalo or torn to death by hyenas. The are the ultimate warriors, but with the wisdom as to when to turn and run

A lioness from the Marsh Pride crouches in anticipation of ambushing prey on a rainy afternoon. Cats are perfectly designed hunters that specialise in creeping close to their prey, using their stealth and ability to merge with their surroundings to launch an attack.

Although lions sometimes hunt cooperatively - particularly when targeting large dangerous prey such as buffalo - a single lioness is quite capable of hunting on her own.

The leopard mother named Bahati with two of her three young cubs along the Talek River. We featured Bahati and her cubs in Season 1 of the Animal Planet series Big Cat Tales, filmed in 2017. Two of the cubs survived.

Bahati disappeared a year or so ago, possibly killed by lions. She was very nervous on the morning when this photograph was taken, as lions were nearby, resting among bushes along the Talek River in the heart of her territory.

The young lioness named Tamu, a member of the Marsh Pride of lions that we have followed intermittently for nearly 50 years, playing with her young cubs at the edge of Musiara Marsh. Tamu was a star of Big Cat Week in 2006 with her four young cubs whose trials and tribulations captivated our audience. Two of the cubs - both males - survived to independence.

Tamu left the Marsh Pride in 2007. This was the time when the lone surviving pride male, Notch, and his five younger companions were forced from the pride by the arrival of a powerful coalition of three males from the Paradise Pride.
