an eventful moment

Vigilant and patient, the cheetah creeps behind the tall grass of the African Savannah which resembles his brownish fur and camouflages him perfectly. All attention fixed on  his big meal-- a fawn eating grass not far away, he manages to hide his breath and make a hit. Despite his inborn advantage of accelerating from 0 to 96 km/h in only three seconds, being the world fastest land mammal, they can only maintain the sprint for about half a minute because it is an energy-taking process. He must make full preparation, or it indicates a failure at the beginning.

The poor little fawn, unaware of the life-taking danger, approaches the predator unconsciously. In a twinkling, the cheetah dashes out of the grass like a lightning all the way to his prey. Not until this very moment does the fawn realize it may be a life-threatening menace and spare no effort speeding and escaping. Yet it is too late, the distance between them is narrowing and eventually the fawn is only a foot away from the predator. While we mourn the pitiful destiny of the poor, we cannot deny  the rule of natural selection, the survival of the fittest.
