*Over 20,000 Cheetahs are habited in Africa*
*They all fight to survive, and only the strongest win*
.:Plot.:
The Cheetah is the fastest mammal in Africa, but they still struggle to survive in the harsh wilderness. They mainly travel alone or in two's or three's, following the herds of wildebeest to hunt. In one particular area in Africa, there is a river that is miles long that separates two large savannahs that are rich with prey and sources of food. The main threat to the Cheetah's survival are the two lion Prides that share the territory with them, constantly threatening them.

@Huskies-Eat-Ponies- Beautiful Application! Accepted!

(Guess I will make the first post?)
Little Sun sat on the rock, her tail neatly curled over her paws. Her bright yellow eyes scanned the fields. Prey was becoming more common, as spring was coming. Little Sun jumped off of the rock, and padded into the open. She marked a small rock. After marking she trotted ontop of a hill. Below, a herd of antelope grazed. She was about to crouch down until she noticed 3 lionesses. Ugh.. She sighed inwardly, and lay down, waiting for them to finish their hunt.
-
The lionesses walked off, a baby antelope in their jaws. Luckily their hadn't spooked the herd. Little Sun stalked down the hill. She targetted a big antelope who was close to her. She was about 40 feet from it. The antelope looked towards her. Little Sun burst forward, a black and golden blur. The Antelope tried to run, but it was too late. She leapt into the air. She fell ontop of the antelope, and clamped her jaws over it's throat. Another successful hunt. Looking around, she quickly devoured the prey, hoping the lions weren't around. Lucky for her they weren't. She finished it off, only bones and fur left.

Samba slid to his paws, his ears drooping. Sound was gone, everything was quiet. The male open his jaws, breathing in a huge amount of air, before snapping it out hastily. His tail flicked from side to side, and his chocolatey eyes scanned the savannah. No food. A light sigh escaped from his jaws as he realized he would have to search the Savannah for some antelope.
After quite a while, Samba spotted a few peach creatures in the distance, some with little horns poking from the head. He dropped down, crawling forwards silently... The antelope perked their heads up, but carried on grazing. Samba sprang up, and chased after a weak adult. Going at his top speed, he chased after it.... When he was rather close he hooked his paw onto it's ankle, knocking it down easily. He bit it's throat, making velvety, red blood drip... All the antelope bounded off, scared of being caught. He took a few bites, but realized a familiar scent. Great, Lions! Samba thought, staring at a fluffy mane in the distance... He didn't want to leave the prey, so he snatched its neck, dragging it away... He saw a tree nearby, and dragged it up. (Or is that what leopards do? Oh well :p) He knew lions could make it up, so he ate carefully up the tree. "Get down," a Lion growled, his blonde mane with black highlights. Samba snarled, and stayed in the tree.

Nzuri sat on a tall mound of earth, licking one of her front paws to clean it. Her tail flicked lazily to and fro as she watched the Savannah beginning to wake up. A particular area caught her eye and her amber gaze rested on a cheetah nearby hunting. This early? How strange. She thought to herself, but quickly dismissed the thought as she realised that she was judging the stranger. She stopped licking her paw and let it drop to the ground, her eyes following the cheetah as it dragged the dead antelope up a tree. A flicker of amusement appeared on her face as a male lion approached the cheetah. She couldn't hear what the feline was hearing, but it was bound to be interesting.
Curiosity took a hold of her and she gracefully climbed down from her mound of earth, her gaze held onto the lion and the cheetah. She stopped not too far away and sat back on her haunches, showing no signs of fear towards the two. Neither of them had any reason to attack her, and she was scarcely visible amongst the long grass.
Me too! Maybe its some sort of disease called... Longpostitis or something like that xD

Samba snapped, "Go away, this is my kill.." The lion looked at him in amusement. "You can't stay up there forever," the lion sighed, sitting down silently. "Your right, but I'm faster than you," Sam shrugged, and started to eat some more of his prey. The lion looked quite frustrated with that comment, and snarled loudly. Samba smirked, and sat on the branch... Suddenly, a black spot caught his eye, A Cheetah? He thought, but didn't focus on it as the lion might wonder what he is staring at.
After a while, Samba's mouth was pretty dry, he wanted a drink! Samba snarled, and stood up, he left his prey up the tree. He'd rather a other cheetah to snatch it rather than the lion getting it. He jumped from the tree, landing far from the lion, and sprinted across the terrain. He saw the Cheetah closer and jumped over the female easily clearing her. The lion stared in anger, and walked away, muttering curses under his breath. Samba stopped, looking over his shoulder. "Sound!" He spoke, quite proud of himself. He sat down brushing down his fur with his tongue.

Kikji
((Sorry to burst your bubble but cheetahs cannot climb.))
A warm breeze filtered the air as Kikji raised her head. Blinking, the cheetah stretched out on the rock, shaking her head as if there was a flea tucked in her ear. A snarl caught her attention as she glanced up, noticing a rather large lion staring up at a male cheetah, with prey underneath the creature. Amusement flickered in her eyes, but she decided not to bother with investigating. A sudden movement flashed out of the corner of her eye, and Kikji turned to see the male cheetah sprinting off into the opposite direction. Shrugging, the female cheetah hauled herself up, sitting on the rock as she glanced around, keeping her ears alerted for any sound. When the lion stormed off, obviously irritated, she decided to go for it since the male cheetah wasn't returning. Wary shooting glances around her, Kikji rose to her paws and swiftly trotted towards the trees, her fur bristling as she scented the strong scent of lion. Pushing it away, she circled the tree, disappointed. She couldn't climb - she knew that, but she decided to go a different method. Using her hind legs, she pushed herself from the ground, springing into the air in attempt to grab the leg of the antelope. Her jaws locked around the leg, and she easily pulled the prey to the ground, with some failed attempts, of course. Shaking her head, she triumphantly began to nose through the food, a little disappointed again to see only a little. Nevertheless, she dug in, satisfied to have something fill her stomach.

One Day more, another day, another destiny. (Hehe, Les Miserables for the win.)
Name: Radi (Origin: Swahili. Meaning: Thunder/Thunderbolt.)(Pronounced: Rah-dee.)
Age: 3 (About 19-21 in Human years)
Gender: Male
Appearance: Typical cheetah appearance, slightly longer tuft of upright fur down the top of his neck. He has a scar on his right shoulder from a purposeful encounter with a lion.
Personality: Radi is a bit of an adrenaline junky, and tends to be slightly cocky and immature. In his downtime, which is most of the time, he enjoys chasing smaller creatures around and harassing others. When it comes to hunting, Radi much enjoys the thrill of the chase, and prides himself in his successful hunting skills. The young cheetah takes very little seriously, always able to find a bright side and get a laugh from anything. He's extremely outgoing and friendly, but his mischievous trouble-seeking personality often gets him into trouble.
Crush: Naaaah.
Mate: Nupe
Offspring: Uh-uh.
Exra: Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnope. c:

Crush: Nope not yet.
Mate: Nope
Offspring: Sadly none.
Extra: Nothing extra.

Age: 4 years old.
Gender: Male
Appearance: Look at his picture. (Again when I have time I'll add a description)
Personality: Zan is quite a stubborn brute and tends to keep to himself, he does have a short temper and will snap. His attitude can be bitter and opinionated from time to time hence no one really socializes with him.

Crush: Nope, he hasn't met any female yet.
Mate: Nope
Offspring: Sadly he doesn't have any.
Extra: Well Zuvan has a large scar across his side from a fight and a small dip took out of his left ear from a gun shot off hunters and one scar on his face across his cheek.

You are both accepted! Welcome to the Rp! I will post later, I'm going to church.

((Okee dokkee thankies. Have fun at church! -Is currently at a Bible college- X3 ))
The warming morning breeze bristled through the thin tuft on the young cheetah's back. Perched atop a large savanna boulder, Radi patiently tapped the tip of his long tail against the flat surface of it beneath him. His sights were fixed on the large African sun that had slowly slipped above the horizon, casting its orange reflecting glow on the nearby river. Radi stretched his jaws in a yawn, exposing all of his bright ivories. Running his coarse tongue over his lips, he rose to his paws on slender legs and slid down into a long stretch, his tail arching upwards with the motion. Welp, better get myself some breakfast! He thought enthusiastically, springing off the stone and landing swiftly on his slender legs in the tall yellowish grass.
-
Little Sun looked over in the distance. She saw a golden and black thing in a tree. It was far, but it might be a cheetah, judging by the chest and tail. She snorted, "Now what is a cheetah doing in a tr-" Little Sun stopped, seeing a dark gold and black mane in the grass below the tree. She headed back to her small territory, which was tiny compared to the lion's territory. But Little Sun couldn't help it. There were many other cheetahs, some more powerful than her. Then there were the powerhungry lions. She had decreased her territory until it was only 3 square miles. She sighed, and walked up an tree, which was sloped, and allowed her to climb (Sort of like the tree in Huskies-Eat-Ponies' pic). She lay on one end, watching the cheetah in the tree leap over the lion and dash away.
She then started to groom her own spotted pelt, until she heard a snarl behind her. She whipped around, her fur fluffed up. A lone lion was standing there, his mane shaggy and his ribs so visible you can count them. He growled, "Hand over the territory and I will not kill you!" Little Sun stood up on her small branch and stood tall, making her seem taller than lion, "You will have to get me first." The lion fell for the trap, and leapt at her. Little Sun turned and leapt off the other end, and ran around the tree twice before dashing about 60 feet away, then stopping. The lion, enraged by her move, ran at her, his teeth bared. Before he caught her Little Sun ran past him and behind him, attempting to bite his tail, hard. The lion roared in pain and attempted to rake his claws down her flank. She yipped in pain, and scuffed dust and dirt in his eyes. The lion winced and pawed his eyes for a good 30 seconds. By then Little Sun was back in her tipped over tree. The lion, done wiping his eyes, charged at her. Little Sun knew she couldn't keep running around him. The lion leapt...
The lion collided into Little Sun, and attempted to bite her neck. But Little Sun moved her head out of the way. She bit his front paws, biting each paw until he backed up enough that she had room to run. Then she ran in, the Lion was surprised at her sudden bravery. Little Sun had no claws, just nails. But anyway she raked them down the lion's eyes. He roared in pain, and ran off. Little Sun sighed, knowing it was pure luck that she could defeat a weak lion.
-
As he took a few swift pawsteps in a fast walk towards the river, a distinctive roar made Radi freeze. It was the roar of a lion- a nearby lion. A long string of curses and jumbled thoughts streamed through his mind, knowing if the lion noticed him, he was dead for sure- if it could catch him. He straightened and shot a gaze over his shoulder in the direction of the booming roar. Much to his relief, the lion was a good distance off, but something seemed to be antagonizing the roar from it. Curious, the cheetah hopped up onto the boulder he was previously resting on to get a better view, knowing the lion was distracted by something. To his surprise, he saw it was in fact a cheetah, doing rapid circles around a tree to get away. When the lion lashed out at it, only to eventually retreat, Radi's gaze centered back onto the panting, but alive cheetah. Instantly flooded with concern, he bolted over to the stranger. He knew how lion encounters could turn out, and that this female could be injured. "Holy crap! Are you alright?" He exclaimed loudly, skidding to a dust-spraying halt just in front of the female.

Kikji
A sudden roar made Kikji flinch, and she jerked her head up to see a male lion harassing a figure. Squinting, she could make out the faint figures of a cheetah - a young one, to be sure. She wasn't sure whether to go over and help, but it seemed like the cheetah had it under control. Amusement flickered through her eyes once more when the lion retreated, and she was about to hurry over when a male cheetah bursted into view. Her ears perked when he questioned if the cheetah was alright, and Kikji decided to listen from where she was standing. She was uncomfortable with interacting with other cheetahs, so she was glad for this opportunity. Glancing around, she rested her haunches near the antelope as she waited for the female's reply.
-
Matahari woke from her slumber as the sun shone onto her eye lids, a huff escaping her maw as she slowly lifted to her paws. Peering around for a moment she hung her head slow and her posture was slightly slouched; shaking her head her maw parted and a yawn escaped her maw. Then lifting to her paws she bowed slightly in order to stretch, the females tail flicked to and fro as she peered around the plains; straightening her posture. Her amber optics locking onto a few carcasses in the distance and judging by the way they were prancing around she assumed it was her of antelop. Hissing she lifted to her paws and trotted to a large boulder. Extending her long legs she leapt onto the stone and lowered to her rump, sighing she watched the herd prance around not to far away. Giving herself time to wake up she remained on the rock for a while; also in attempt to adjust to the sun as she had been sleeping in the shade.
Zuvan awoke from his slumber with a hiss the vaulchers in the skies cawing and flapping about. One seeming to bounce towards his thin body. Grunting he swiped his paw at the bird causing it to shriek and fly off. The golden feline rolled his eyes and let out a yawn, his small jaws parting as a yawn escaped. Sighing the brute lifted to his paws and shook any acces dust from his pelt. Peering around it seemed no one was around apart from few prey animals and the odd lone lion. Snarling he trotted to a near by river and crouched then dipping his head and bending his maw towards the water he began lapping up the cool liquid. Sighing in relief as he satisfied his thirst he drew back from the water and remained on his haunches for a while, his long, thick tail tapping against the ground.
-
Little Sun looked in the distance, watching the lion stumble away. She then looked at the male. Her flank was hurting, but no more major injuries, "Y-Yea I'm ok, just my flank hurts.." She moved to show him 4 dark red claw marks ripping her beautiful spotted coat. She looked back at him, "I'm ok other than that.. thank you.."
-
Radi swiveled his ears forward, eyeing the slash marks that tore the female's flank. "That's gonna leave one heck of a battle scar." He said with a a bit of a smirk, lashing his tail. "You sure did good chasin' that dumb lion away. I've never seen a cheetah stand up for themself like that. You've got guts." He exclaimed, giving her shoulder a light shove with his forepaw and chuckling. "Anyway, my name's Radi." The feline introduced, grinning at his new acquaintance.

Samba watched as cheetahs gathered to this particular area, and he cocked his head. He didn't feel to comfortable with all these cheetahs! It was rare to see this many cheetahs... But as he stood up, and was about to leave he saw another lion heading towards a cheetah on a loped branch. Samba snarled under his breath, flicking his tail annoyed. His chocolate eyes gazed at the pair as the lion leapt onto the cheetah, ripping its flank... Samba stood up tall, padding slowly towards the two. Once he was quite a close and far distance away, he stopped...
Soon, the lion ripped from the golden cheetah, roared and ran off. The lion was heading in his direction, so Samba moved to the side. It ran straight past him. He shrugged, and licked his pelt again. After, Samba stood up, ready to leave, but glanced at all the cheetahs in the area. One of the cheetahs went up to the one that was injured, and he flashed the red marks to the other cheetah. Samba caught the sight of it and winced himself, that would surely hurt.

Nzuri crouched low in the long grass as the male cheetah leaped over her with ease. She watched as he padded a short distance off towards another few cheetahs. She turned away from the gathering species and trotted over to the river that separated the land. She lapped up some of the life-sustaining liquid, her eyes staying focused on the water. A shadow loomed over her and she looked up in surprise to meet the gaze of an African elephant she moved aside respectfully and bowed her head, letting the bigger animal drink.
Nzuri padded over to her mound and sat down, basking in the morning sun. She turned away from the commotion and watched the sun slowly rise up from the horizon, a lion pride lay in the shade of a tree nearby but they didn't seem bothered by her presence. She purred gently in contempt, her tail flicking lazily.

Little Sun smiled, "Thanks. My name is Little Sun.. Nice to meet you Radi." She flicked her tail in greeting. In result, her flank hurt a bit. She winced in pain, but tried to hide it from the male. She then looked up at him, "So.. what are you doing on this side of the savannah?"
-
Matahari peered around the savannah as many cheetahs continued to gather around not to far away, her tail flicking slightly as her sighs were locked onto the golden creatures. A small breeze blew through her fur for a split second then the sun continued to beam onto her pelt. She closed her eyes in relaxation for a few seconds then opened them again as she watched the crowd move, a small smile on her face as she remained on the boulder, pants escaping her maw and the faes tongue slightly hung from her mouth.
Zuvan continued to lap up the cool liquid as two shadows peered over the thin creature, turning his head he glanced at a female cheetah then looking at a large african elephant that had placed itself beside him. Grunting he turned his focus back onto the river and continued to drink as the elephants trunk dipping into the water. Lifting to his long legs Zuvan whipped around and trotted off leaving the beast in peace, coming to a tipped over tree trunk he leapt onto it and padded along. Then lowering himself to his stomach he peered over at a near by lion pride and let out a growl, but deciding not the cause a scene he closed his eyes; basking in the sun.
-
"Little Sun?" Radi cocked his head slightly. "That's an off name. Cool." He exclaimed with a smirk, flicking the tip of his tail. Feeling rather comfortable around the other cheetah, he lowered himself down to his haunches. Casually he brushed his paw over his face as if wiping dirt from it. Staring back at Little Sun, he shrugged at her question. "I've been here for a while now, but I don't usually stay in okee place for too long." He explained, pausing to let out a yawn. "How 'bout you? I haven't seen youaround before." His ear quivered to discourage the landing attempt of a small fly.

Samba got bored of waiting at the same area, he couldn't stay still for long. So he started to stroll towards the river where everyone drunk from! His paws thudded on the dry earth, other than that the world was silent again. He loved when it was all quiet, and he could clearly hear the thoughts in his mind waft through his brain. Before long, he heard the Savannah birds chirping their songs as the graceful cheetah paced past them. Sam didn't want to hurt them, he loved the way they sound in the morning. It was barely morning now though.
Finally, he reached the lake. (Where Nzuri is :3 ) He saw a about two cheetahs, and a elephant! He lapped up the water, staring at the cheetahs, making sure they don't make any sudden movements towards him.
-
Little Sun flicked her ear, "I have been here for a couple of days, made my own little territory. That lion tried to take it from me." She lay down, twisting her head to lick her wounds. After a couple of licks, she looked back at him. She then asked, "Do you have your own territory?" A fly landed on her tail tip, and she flicked it off.
-
Radi's ears were cupped forward, listening intently to Little Sun speak. With his non-retractable claws, he casually raked the dirt lightly. "Oh- Uh sorry for intruding!" He quickly said as she mentioned it was her territory. However, she seemed pretty relaxed about him being there, so he did the same. "Hmm? Nah. I move around too much to set a home territory and junk like that."(Ain't nobody got time fo' dat! XD). "'Sides, I'd really rather not have the responsibility of defending it. I live for excitement! Not for babysitting land." He added quickly, springing to his feet at the word 'excitement.'
-
She laughed a bit, "It's ok." (Starting to get Writers block DX) She continued, "Plus, defending a territory is exciting, you get to battle to defend it." She scraped her un-retractable claws along the dirt, making small impressions.
-
"I know, but ehhhh. I'd rather not fight. I'm more of a 'cause trouble and outrun the enemy' kinda guy." Radi chuckled with a quick wink, lowering his bottom half down to sit again. He curled his ringed tail around his side and let out a quiet huff. "Well, anyway, I'd better be going. Haven't had anything to eat yet today." He murmured with a grin of anticipation as he rose back to his paws and half turned away. "See ya around!- Unless you'd like to come. I know we don't usually hunt in groups, but heck, what can it hurt?" He grinned at the fae from over his shoulder, lashing his tail about.

Nzuri's ears flicked towards the sound of water splashing and turned her head towards the source of the sound. She immediately recognised the cheetah that had jumped over her earlier, and she met his gaze. She swiftly made her way down the mound, not taking her eyes off of the male. She hadn't seen so many of her kind in the same area before, so she decided to make the most of it. She sat back on her haunches at a close distance, but far away enough to make a quick getaway if necessary.
Nzuri sent a flirty smile in his direction, living up to her name. "Hello." She said softly, flicking her tail so that it thumped gently against the ground. She half-turned her head to catch a glimpse of a nearby cheetah lying on a fallen tree trunk quite close to her small territory. The stranger didn't seem to be a threat, but she made sure that he was always in her line of sight. She turned her gaze back to the male cheetah she was talking to, cocking her head slightly waiting for a reply.

Kikji
After finishing up what she could, Kikji pushed away the leftovers of the antelope, licking her maw as she scanned the area. The two cheetahs seemed to be alright with each other - she guessed the male cheetah had taken liking for the female. Glancing over at the river, she spotted two of her own kind, along with an elephant. They all didn't seem much of a harm, but she kept her eyes glued onto them, watching their moves. The female cheetah seemed to be interacting with the male - and Kikji wasn't very surprised, Letting out a yawn, the female headed towards the opposite direction of the river, unwilling to interact with the others.

Thanks. Ah, yes, that picture.. It took me a while to find one like that. I'm quite happy- and surprised - how my application turned out as normally they're rubbish.))
Ardor lay on a small patch of grass blades with her claws unsheathed, her fores stretched with her small visage resting on them. Her pendulum flicked solemnly, an audible thud whenever it collided with the lush earth under her. A pant continued to filter through her maw as she lay there restlessly. With a quick glance around the members, Ardor closed her eyelids and tried to fall asleep in the new day due to herself not being able to sleep well last night. Shifting her weight over onto her stomach, she supported herself onto her side with a quick roll. The cheetahs around seemed to be doing something, unlike her. She decided to be lazy for a day and do nothing; as she always does.
-
Matahari watched as few of the cheetahs padded away from th area, sighing she let out a yawn and leapt down from the rock. Landing swiftly on the ground she peered around and glanced in the direction of the river; many of the cheetahs seeming to be gathering near the river. Deciding that it would be a good chance for her to meet others of her kind the fae slowly padded towards the river. Stopping as she got to it the black spotted feline lowered into a crouching position and dipped her head then lapping up the cool water. Sighing she lifted her head the sounds piercing her ears, her tail flicking the ground as she waited for some to pass and to interact with.
Zuvan watched as the other cheetahs began to interact and gather around the river, being a feline who didn't like to socialize he ler out a grunt and lifted to his paws. Turning the brute leapt off the trunk and jumped to the ground with the thud, sighing he began padding away. Shooting one last glance towards the gathering felines; then whipping around. His attention on a female who also seemed to not want to socialize. Putting his head down slightly he continued to pad off through the savannah his long tail flicking as his paws tapped the dirt.

(Hardyharrhar... -after reading Zuvan's application- Another laid back cheetah? Woo.))
The juvenile cheetah struggled to go to sleep. The blaring sunlight in her eyes didn't help much and she was beginning to get agitated. Her auditories perked at the sound of footsteps going beside her, in curiosity Ardor opened one eye to find a male a few years advanced in age. She figured she didn't have much to do so she lazily shifted her weight under her haunches and stood up, a few tracks behind the male. Following him in a lazy interest, her plume flicked sideways as she began to gain on him.
-
((Yep very laid back :) ))
Zuvan padded through the savannah the sun continuing to burn his pelt as small herd were still visable in the distance. Letting out a sigh he continued to flick his tail as he continued onward. An unfamiliar scent soon wafting into his snout causing him the turn his head slightly, then the pattering of pawsteps causing him to come to a sudden halt. Smiling he turned to see a youngster curiously padding behind him, looking at the cub he tilted his head then glanced around realising she was alone. Shrugging the brute sat on his hanuches and continued to look at the youngster. "Well hello there, young one." He smiled his white tipped tail tapping against the ground as the sun beamed onto his back.

Kikji
The female cheetah stretched out on the rock, swiveling her ears in any direction to pick up any sound of danger. Movement caught Kikji's attention as she noticed a youngster trotting after a male cheetah, and she guessed it was either curious or it was the cub of the male. Shrugging, she raised her head, inspecting the two as her tail curled in amusement. Still, she wasn't up to socializing and she preferred to be isolated and at least study the cheetahs from her area.

Samba noticed the other cheetah moving towards him, but kept his ground. She stood quite a close and far way from the male Cheetah... Samba's ears swivelled hearing the female talk, "Hello." Samba turned to her and saw she was doing a flirtatious smile. Samba smiled with a little chuckle and replied, "Hi there." He flicked his tail, and sat down.
{{Meh, short!}}

"Hello," she replied, flicking her pendulum. As she examined the adult, she frowned as if confused. "What's that little.. mane thing on your back?" Ardor asked, gesturing to the whiter patch of fur on his back. "Why is it like that?" Swatting the ground with her tail in frustration in being not able to understand, Ardor sighed and glanced to her own back which the white 'stuff' hadn't grown thicker yet. Her eyes began to grow wide as she glanced behind the male. (D'you mind if there is a lion creeping around?)
-
Zuvan peered at a female cheetah in the distance a small smile growing across his face, then turning to look back at the cub as she spoke. A low chuckle escaped his maw as he shrugged "To be honest, I don't really know.." He shrugged peering at the tuft on his back then at the cubs. "I guess we just have them" he added another shrug driving across his shoulders. The males head tilted and his eyes narrowed as the cubs eyes widened, turning his head he noticed a lion not to far away from them, hissing he turned to face the lion placing himself heside the cub incase they needed to make a run and he could grab her. "Just don't move to much or tease the beast, we should be fine.." He muttered peering back at the golden feline, his teeth shawing as his fur stood up.

(Merp waiting for Duna.

"Oh, really?" She smiled slightly. She licked her chest fur, then looked up, "Well... I will be off. You're a nice guy Radi." She smiled at him, then left for her tipped-over tree. She looked back at Radi, flicking her tail in good-bye. She then trotted off, and leapt into her tree. She walked up to the edge, licking her wound.
-
"Okay, see ya." Radi shrugged, smirking back at her before trotting into the tall grass. Keeping his small head low, he skunked through the Savanna, his golden pelt proving valuable camouflage as he neared a herd of Thomson's Gazelles near the river. Halting his footsteps, he stayed in a hidden crouching position, tail flicking to and fro as he began to visually search through the small herd for the easiest target. At last he found it, rather old male grazing at the rear. The elderly could never put up too much of a fight. Licking his lips, the cheetah stalked forward.
-
Matahari peered and tilted her head as all the cheetahs began to depart, sighing the black-spotted fae leapt over the small river causing mud to crumble from the back and fall into the water. Shrugging as she looked behind she whipped her head around and huffed slightly. A smile then growing across her face as she set out across the savannah, her tail flicking to and fro as the agile feline padded through the long grass; being barely visable.

Nzuri flicked her tail curiously, her ears perked and slightly twitching to keep the pesky flies away. "I'm Nzuri. May I ask your name?" She introduced herself, her voice even, unthreatening and formal. Her amber eyes blinked a few times as she awaited an answer from the male, she kept her head cocked slightly to the side and the trace of a smile on her lips. A movement caught the corner of her eye and she moved her head to the left a fraction to see a cheetah stalking some nearby Gazelle. Her tongue poked out the corner of her mouth as she licked her lips, although she wasn't hungry.

Samba perked his ears as the female spoke again, "I'm Nzuri. May I ask your name?" Samba spoke it back in his head, Nzuri, got it... Samba replied, "That's a cool name, I'm Samba, or Sam." He shrugged, and turned around and saw saw a gazelle. He had just had a meal, so he turned back to Nzuri.

Radi ran his tongue over his lips in anticipation for the hopeful feast to come, target locked on. Without warning, the cheetah suddenly burst from his cover, shooting from a stand still to full speed in mere seconds. The herd of gazelle instantly scattered with loud bleats of fear. Radi's spring coil-like spine allowed his strides to cover a massive amount of ground as he shot towards the old male gazelle, his target. Completely focused, he weaved around a few members of the panicked herd to tail the sprinting old one. Once close behind it, he used his front paws to swipe at the gazelle's hind legs, tripping it up easily due to its old age and therefore lack of agility to escape. A cloud of dust plumed skyward as the gazelle went down and Radi whipped around to latch on to its throat. The animal let out a last wheezing bleat of fear and pain before its life force soon slipped away with little struggle from its aged muscles.

Nzuri nodded and repeated the name a few times in her mind to make sure she wouldn't forget it. "Nice to meet you." She said politely, the flirty smile still on her maw. She watched as Sam looked away and her gaze strayed to across the river, to where a gazelle was being hunted by another cheetah. "There sure is a lot of our kind about." She commented absent-mindedly, her bright amber eyes turning back to the male.

Samba perked his round ears when the female spoke. "As with you," he nodded his head gratefully, his eyes sparkling. He smiled as he saw the female Cheetah still had the perky, flirty smile upon her face. Then the female spoke again, "There sure is a lot of our kind about." Sam nodded in agreement, turning his head again where some cheetahs hung out together. "Unnatural!" He smiled, and stood up. He shook his pelt getting some annoying flies racing off his pelt! Then he sat back down, his eyes still sparkling.

Little Sun leapt down from the tree, and began to hunt and patrol. Suddenly, with bleats of fear, a group of about 10 Thompson's Gazelle ran infront of her. Suddenly, without warning, she dashed after them. Their cries of fear grew louder as she persued them. Once she got close enough she attempted to hook her paw around the gazelle. The gazelle bleated and tried to kick out, but it missed as Little Sun dodged it. She pulled herself to the struggling creature and grasped it's throat, soon killing it. She placed the food down, and looked around. No lions around. Yet. She quickly dived into eating, not really chewing at all. She knew that if the rogue was around, he was fight harder if prey was involved. And with her flank injury that was starting to heal, she couldn't afford to live with another one.
-
Though the gazelle had went limp for a good few minutes now, Radi kept his tight hold on its throat just below its head, just to be safe. Finally, he released his grip and straightened up, panting as he examined his surroundings for any potential scavengers that could come in. Knowing it was only a matter of time before the lions and vultures became aware of his kill, the cheetah was on a strict time limit to eat as much as he could before his meal was likely to be stolen. Crawling to sit in front of the gazelle's bloated stomach, he wasted no time before biting in, devouring its warm flesh until his small head was completely stained scarlet.
