CHEETAH EATS MICROPHONE

One of two "teenage" cheetahs decided that predating on a fluffy wind-proof microphone was easier than chasing gazelle across the plains.

The wannabe killer stole the mic from the low mount of my filming vehicle in the Serengeti, only to be stopped when the xlr cable came to an end. After an intense mauling, and a subsequent tug of war, I retrieved the expensive mic system, much to the dented ego of the cheetah.
