Same cheetah mom, but this was hysterical. We watched for about an hour as the cheetah mom tried to sneak up to the gazelles (behind me). She had to get within 100 yards to have the strength to catch one. As soon as she'd start to creep, all those zebras would YIP! YIP! YIP! to alert the gazelles, and the cheetah would sit back down. Zebras are too big for cheetahs; they knew they were in no danger. They were just watching out for their gazelle pals
