Wild animals only kill for food

Photographer Michel Denis-Huot, who captured these amazing pictures on safari in Kenya's Masai Mara in October last year.
"These three brothers (cheetahs) have been living together since they left their mother at about 18 months old,' he said.
'On the morning we saw them, they seemed not to be hungry, walking quickly but stopping sometimes to play together.
'At one point, they met a group of impala who ran away. But one youngster was not quick enough and the brothers caught it easily'."

These extraordinary scenes followed.






and then they just walked away without hurting him..........

Fantastic pictures, and an amazing situation, makes you wonder if they would have eaten the impalas mother.
Then again they might wait till there is a bit more meat on the baby.

Beautiful pictures, as you say they couldn't have been hungry. I wonder how often that happens?

The picture are in the wrong order, the first is the last, the baby plucked up courage to make a run for it, and it really looks as though it is about to be caught.
