This normally means Phefo must find a herd of impala and painstakingly stalk close enough to launch a chase.
This morning, the herd is coming to her.
Phefo's name means 'wind.'
And when you see her run, you'll know why.
In seconds, she'll go from zero to the fastest creature on land.
The planes give her all the space she needs to run down prey.
Phefo can never let her guard down.
They're exposed out here, and the kill will soon attract attention.
With her around, her cubs feel safe, unburdened by thoughts of their next meal or staying alive.
