How does Mark James Owens use imagery in Cry of the Kalahari?

Example of Imagery:

"The cheetah, still at full speed, reaches forward a club-like paw to destroy the balance of its prey. The antelope cuts sharply, and what was ultimate form is suddenly perverted. At seventy miles per hour the fence wire slices through the cheetah's noise, shatters its jaw, and snaps its head around. Before its momentum is spent on the mesh, its elegant neck is twisted and broken, the shank of a splintered white bone bursts through the skin of its foreleg. The recent recoils and spits the mutilated form, ruptured and bleeding, into the dirt."
