Missed this one earlier. Great shots. Quick and the dead indeed. Nature.... All I can say is....
... YIKES !! I'll be in the Land Rover with the wide angle taking pictures of the steering wheel or something...
 
Hard to imagine for us to have been hunted by such fierce predators as well, its impressive really.

Thanks for sharing these.
