CHEETAH WITH KILL

In the year 2016 at Masai Mara, Kenya five male cheetahs formed coalition to survive. They became famous as Five Brothers. Cheetah is usually solitary hunter but this unorthodox coalition of five males helped them to dominate over a larger terrain, hunt bigger prey and offered better protection from natural predators. I have taken this shot in 2019 during my visit to Masai Mara.
