It’s a scene out of the Bible.Not a lion lying down with a lamb, but three powerful cheetahs becoming friends with a baby impala antelope.
They met in Kenya’s Masai Mara, a world-famous game preserve known for its habitat of big cats, like these adult male cheetahs.
Photographer Michel Denis-Huot was on safari last October when he snapped these amazing shots in a grassy savanna.
“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.”
The preferred diet of cheetahs begins with small antelope. But these cats weren’t hungry because they normally hunt in the daytime, either in the early morning or late afternoon.
