Graham Cooke - to read more about him click here - captured this remarkable interaction between a male leopard and a mother cheetah protecting her two cubs. In the first picture above the leopard and cheetah stare at each other. The next two pictures shows the cheetah mother being chased by the leopard (the cheetah cubs are in the background), but then in the fourth photograph she turns and snarls at the leopard, he then decides it is not worth his while and gives up on the chase (cheetahs are the fastest land animals after all!). Photographs five and six show her being re-united with first the one and then the second cub. | ||
