Cheetah chases wildebeest | The Hunt - BBC One

Watch the BBC first on iPlayer 👉 bbc.in/iPlayer-Home Different times of year offer different opportunities for Cheetah. Hunting Wildebeest calves is a fleeting opportunity that they must take advantage of.
Nature documentary series narrated by Sir David Attenborough. A look at predator and prey strategies in the open arenas of desert and grassland.
The open arenas of grassland and desert make up half of all land on our planet. In these exposed habitats, predators like cheetahs, bald eagles and lions can usually see their prey. But it works both ways: their prey can see them too. With nothing but open vistas, the element of surprise is hard-won, and predators must make their own opportunities. This episode explores the strategies of predator and prey in the open arena.

+Borzoi Coursing Greyhounds barely hit 72km/h.

Even in a flat out straight chase.
