Hm, lots of stories! I was once watching a large group of elephants wondering around then suddenly all hell broke loose. Turned out they had left a young one back in the bushes so major panic insued, as they called out and went running all over the place to find him.Then one time a young male that was quite far decided to charge the vehicle for no reason and followed us for a while. I think he actually had some mental issues and had been abandoned by the group for that reason.This is by far the craziest encounter with a cheetah family. I've met the mother a few times.
