Cheetah like other big cats, kill their prey by strangulation. They hunt mainly medium-size antelops particularly Thompsons gazelles and Impala. Cheetahs hunt mostly during the first few morning hours and the last few evening hours.
This morning the two cheetahs nickname artur brothers were seen by Alex and his four guest hunting and killing a young steenbok in the Maasai Mara. After subduing the steenbok they guickly started feeding to avoid interferance from lions and hyena.
