The first fight was well deserved. I do believe that was a female getting even with a horny male that was trying to get some tail. The rest? life exposed. I still think they have better manners than most humans do. :P
I know there's the point that yes, cheetahs can be feral and ferocious...
But what in the name of my big spotty balls is with this narrator??
'What's that sound they're making?': If this person has spent any significant amounts of time observing cheetahs and NOT heard a cheetah bark, chirp, and yelp, why the heck is he narrating this?
'This is horrible! We can't let them go on doing this, can we?': Um... First law of nature observation is "Do not under any circumstances interfere with the subject under observation." Yes, you may not like what you see. Yes, it may be gruesome, or cruel, or go against your own personal views. But that is how they behave in nature, and that's what you're there to observe. Otherwise, it isn't a nature program--it's a circus.
'Make them stop!': What??? Because they're not fitting into your well-sanitized and idyllic view that somehow animals in the wild resolve all their conflicts by sitting down with a nice cup of tea and chat rather than fighting for it, you should enforce that upon them. 'Make him stop!', I say.
'It's got a dead thing in its mouth.': *blinkblink*. . . No, no, no, that's one of those new McDonalds Mc'Zelle Nugget sandwiches, where it only looks like a dead animal. *blinkblink*. . . Dear gods in the heavens, please leave this man out in the middle of the savannah so I can chase him down, spotty-slap him up one side and down the other, drag his stunned milktoast ass for a mile or so, and then leave him there, because lions can eat his ass--I'm not letting him get anywhere near my maw.
'Oh, they've got'em by the neck! Ohh! Ohhh!': Even if he wasn't wailing like an emasculated wuss in the background, how the heck does he think a cheetah catches prey? We're not packing rifles. We don't have <dr-evil> frikkin' lasers built into our frikkin' foreheads </dr-evil>, y'know. I bet if it was a lion savaging that wildebeest, he'd be cheering them on, but a cheetah? Oh, heavens forbid it!
What we need is a good cheetah mauling of some narrator like this prick to remind these people of where they are and who they're filming.
You know, I can't figure if anyone has done 'comedy commentary' on an animal documentary such as this, before. But I'd love to hear more, because this was a riot!

When the 'narrator' breathed into the mic, my subwoofer all but exploded.
