Meet two elite hunters of the Maasai Mara. Today, they are working together to find a snack.
Their mother, Amani, taught the two cheetah sisters how to hunt for themselves.
Spreading out to cover more ground, the sisters eye a group of Thomson's gazelles in the distance.
The male gazelles are fighting for mating rights, creating confusion within the herd.
The sisters have extraordinary eyesight and watch hopefully for a stray snack.
Just as it seems they will have a meal the gazelles spot one of the sisters and watch her carefully.
There is still hope however—the other cheetah has spotted something in the distance and begins the chase!
