Predators vs. Scavengers

Cheetahs aren't the only hungry animals on the Serengeti. Vultures, jackals, and other opportunistic scavengers flock to recent kills and make a commotion that predators cannot ignore. Cheetahs must eat as much as they can, as fast as they can, before being outnumbered and overrun by scavengers.
