The zebras were getting understandable nervous as these three cheetah brothers went on the prowl. About twenty minutes later they made an unsuccessful sprint while attempting to capture one of the young zebra calves. Photographed in the Ol Pajeta Conservancy in Laikipia, Kenya. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/250th of a second.
The absolute beauty of these two species overwhelms me. To see them so near each other is quite something. For some reason it makes me think of a chorus line in a broadway show! Cheetahs exit stage right! Wonderful catch, Sean.
Do you mean that these cheetahs are brothers in that they have the same mother? Or did you mean it that they’re not related, but come from the same neighborhood, share many common experiences and form one another’s emotional support network? Or did you mean that they belong to the same fraternity? Or were you sayin that these cheetahs are monks? I’m just trying to figure out what I’m seeing here is all.

Love the 3:3 ratio. What a treat to see cheetahs and 3 at once!
Just fabulous! So much drama going on in one view!
I would have been nervous to
Action packed photo
Wow, what a shot! Talk about drama – most excellent, Sean!
Thanks Sue. The cheetahs are always up to something. Interesting to watch their strategy and the group of zebras they eventually chased after.
All lined up for you!
