she is faster than all
must bring in a haul
to feed her cubs
no, not grubs
Fresh meat
is what they eat
Lions stalk and will kill her
she outpaces them in a blur
hard life on African plains
her survival is ingrained

Cheetahs do not eat carcasses. They need fresh meat and do not live in groups like lions. The lions and hyenas will kill a cheetah and her cubs. She has a very hard life, and despite the dangers and the larger big cats, cheetahs do their best to care for their cubs.
