Mom & Son on the hunt

Greetings everyone!
From my last trip to Kenya (Mara North and Naibosho Conservancies, I'm sharing here one showing an adult female and its male cub that were getting ready for a kill (and they succeeded!).

The youngster stayed at all times a couple of steps behind mom, imitating all movements. I was initially at somehow close range, then farther away while the run for the hunt and finally, once the gazelle was down, I spent about 1hr watching them going thru their meal under the heat of the morning sun.
