Its three weeks ago when one of the three male cheetahs named the 'Artur brothers' was killed by lions in a fight. It was a very big loss to the coalition and for a few days they seemed at a loss. They did not hunt for some time and they moved away from the scene of the confrontation for over two weeks now. We have been tracking them to find out where they go and how they survive. During a Full Day Game Drive, Philip and his guests sighted them as they rested under an African wild date tree. They looked well fed and healthy. It seemed that they have accepted fate and are moving on with their lives. They have no choice but to do just that. Live must go on. But they must be careful not to get into trouble with lions ever again.
