"Flash Dance"

"Flash Dance"




This amazingly sleek, surgical killer catches about one in five of its prey. Mostly small rodents and animals.

In Swahili they call the animal “Duma”. We Swahili speekers, (I can order a cup of coffee and count from one to ten), know most of the animals’ names.

Anyone know what the Zulu equivalent is? One should imagine that in Xhosa the name would probably be much the same as its English equivalent. ie Cheetah

Anyway, enough of this banter, back to work.
