Alerting Wildebeest as predator arrives

Cheetah family having gnu on high alert

[@jshanker2005]

Cheetah Mom of the Decade !! She successfully brought up 4 cubs close to adulthood while the attrition of cubs is really high.

[@robynguinn8941]

I wasnt expecting my favorite animal to arrive. She is clearly a super mom raising 4 healthy cheetah in the desert.

[@MissDeviancy]

i had no idea wildebeest made those sounds. its sounds like they are talking, how cool

[@wendyh3891]

Interesting alarm call of the wildies, they not letting up! Cheetah are such nervous creatures, but to see five together is amazing. Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️ from PE, Eastern Cape South Africa 🇿🇦

[@Ofinfinitejest]

This is one of the most amazing things ever seen on a live wildlife cam. A group of at least 23 wildebeest are intimidated by a group of five cheetahs.

[@jonathan6229]

wilderbeeest neeed to know how dangerous they really are they can do serous damage

[@wendywilson18]

Fantastic show! Of both species! It is truly amazing to watch "survival instincts" in real time play. Thanks for posting this.

[@shannondore]

Cheetahs are so beautiful. It sounds like the wildebeest are carrying on a conversation. That's fascinating.

[@prettynoose888]

It's really interesting to see the wildebeest follow the cheetah family when they leave the waterhole.

[@NamibiaCam]

And the cheetah mother chasing them back right at the end

[@prettynoose888]

@@NamibiaCam Yes its fascinating, I really thought the wildebeest would have kept their distance.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, lol.

Awesome👍

[@annettelane659]

Awesome to see this beautiful Cheetah family still in the area and the Gnu are just letting each other know that the Cheetah are still here. Thank you for the upload Namibia Cam.

[@clauslr]

What a fascinating sight! Almost 2 days in a row with Cheetah visits. And a whole herd of wildebeest too. For a long time there has only been a single Wildebeest, at this cam!

[@hawes-wintersart]

I saw this live. I knew you would be Featuring this incredible moment.

Sooo beautiful! I love cheetahs..!!😍😍😍😍 It´s so good to see so many cheetahs alive...!! Must be a very brave mama cheetah to raise 4 cubs!🥰🥰🥰

All herd animals have to share that waterhole with all manner of wildlife. Cute cheetah cubs they usually don't show up until sunset.

[@donnagale5430]

Love this. Cheetahs have always been my absolute favorite.

[@kathleenryan8545]

That was amazing to watch, and I know Cheetahs have to survive by eating other animals, but what a horrible thought that those Wilderbeest can be going about their day with the possibility that something could come along and eat them! I don't blame them for making such a noise!

[@nancybusso6171]

An incredible mother cheetah!! All four babies are half grown and thriving!!

[@marianne3777]

They returned !! 👍🤗

[@Scrambledeggz]

So amazing, thanks for sharing!

[@Jonnyy17]

Awesome pictures thanks for sharing.

[@karloarsch1579]

The Gnus know, that one adult Cheetah can not hunt them, but in a few month, that may look different. If this would have been a group of males, the Gnus would be gone!

[@shafqatishan437]

Wildebeest are always scared. They run from any potential predator even if it's a young individual which can't hunt them.

[@LKauf279]

@@shafqatishan437 Better to be safe than sorry!!! Lol But I wonder if they would have taken off for lions!

[@noahbodie222]

I'm not taking off LETS GET IT MF'S

The wildebeests are, like, - that's the bunch that got Harry and Fred!

Great video!

I hope they will be new regular member at the water hole,the cheetah family.they are really fascinating.

They must be really thirsty.

Awesome! Love big cats.

[@Ladybird-17]

Wow amazing with four young cheetahs looking pretty good

[@ingleton20]

Is that the Gnu’s alarm call or the cheetahs making a noise. Saw this cheetah family in a recent clip. Really great to see the family intact.

[@peetduplessis7796]

It's the Gnu alarm sound.

[@awagirl99]

It’s the Wildebeest alarm calls

[@scottanddebranelson8419]

that was pretty cool. thanks.

[@Sigrsaela]

Hello from St.Petersburg

[@norovarisouthafricansafari941]

wow this was amazing!

[@bobbiecolonna8802]

Wow I can’t believe that there are Five of them all together

[@TenderLove-ChickenTender]

This is awesome! I watched a documentary about how during the pandemic the wildlife flourished because of tourism shutting down. Especially with cheetahs, the reason some cubs got lost or killed was because they couldn't hear their mom's warning chirps over the sound of loud tourist vehicles. 😢 So the cheetah moms had a hard time hunting for food because they couldn't leave their babies or go too far away in fear of losing sight or being out of hearing distance. (Which wasn't far at all because of all the loud noises of the tourism industry)

[@shannondore]

It was incredible how the absence of humans aloud all those animals to come out of hiding. I was so excited to hear about so many birds and animals that hadn't been seen in decades (centuries even) that came out to explore the now quite environment. People thought some of these animals were extinct. Nature is amazing!!

[@bondmood]

Reminds me a little of the Godzilla roar!

[@luiginovoa68]

cheetah mom mind her own business: it's beverage time....

[@maninredhelm]

Maybe I'm underestimating the cheetah, but none of those wildebeest looked small enough for her to take down even if she could isolate one from the herd. Or at least it'd be quite a struggle.

[@shafqatishan437]

An adult female cheetah with help from cubs can bring down large prey sometimes. Sub-adult to semi-adult gnus are fair game. However wildebeest, despite their size, are timid creatures in general.

[@lindaterrell5535]

Moms a good hunter. She’s raised 4 cubs.

[@billfoltz6178]

Pretty little kittens

[@WashingtonSportsYuku]

Hey yo Cheetah? Wassup?

[@nancybusso6171]

Are the gnus trying to sound like lions?

[@chiaracassia9991]

wonderful 🙏

[@cvtsboy]

Where is the grass for the wildies to eat?

[@samb6330]

Is the camera making the noise coz it seems consistent throughout? Therefore should it be intervening in the natural behaviour? It may have been that because they just need water the wildebeest aren't bothered. Plus a mum of four needs food

[@SkinnyCoutreux2244]

3:47 I thought someone behind the camera gasped and rewound to see what I missed 😂

[@katherinesiegelstein1305]

Is the sound we hear from the cheetahs or the wildebeests?

[@NamibiaCam]

From the wildebeest

[@romygime5822]

Poor Cheetahs must be very hard to survive in that area wildebeest are too big animals for cheetahs to hunt too dangerous they need go to grasses areas to smaller animals

[@gilmartorquato7786]

You are mistaken! A mother cheetah can indeed feed on wildebeest to feed her babies. She will always focus on the most fragile or that wildebeest aged up to 1 year old. You can be sure she can kill a wildebeest up to one year old. One important thing: wildebeests are not like buffaloes that, when attacked, help each other to free the one being attacked. Despite being in packs, wildebeests only watch another wildebeest being killed a few meters away. It is rare for a wildebeest to release another that is being killed. So puppies, juveniles (up to one year old) or older and injured adults are the target of an attack!

[@shafqatishan437]

@@gilmartorquato7786 yup, cheetahs hunt gemsbok as well, which is far more deadlier, even for lions.

[@vorobeff]

murr murr murr

[@le_th_]

Wildebeest aren't nearly far enough away from the adult cheetah, should she choose to take off after them. However, she has her 4 children in tow, so she's unlikely to take off without them.

Can anyone tell me if this water fountain is natural or artificial? I think it's artificial, am I right?

[@randallmarsh1187]

It is on a float (similar to a toilet) pumped from a reservoir behind the camera, the reservoir is pumped full from a bore hole and is powered from a solar panel near the camera. You can get more info from the website itself.
