Well, this is a story of three cheetahs and one antelope. Photographer Michel Denis-Huot, who captured these amazing pictures on safari in Kenya’s Maasai Mara in October 2009, said he was astounded by what he saw. ‘These three brothers 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, as the cheetahs played with the young impala the way a domestic cat might play with a ball of string.
