5 Cheetah Coalition

Five Cheetah coalition in Maasai Mara

A coalition of five male cheetahs has become a talk in Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. The visitors who visit the reserve are now more interested in seeing this very rare coalition of cheetahs.
The five male cheetahs have formed a coalition form around September 2016 onwards and I should say it is indeed a smart move till date. This phenomenon has attracted many researchers and scientists as well who are doing a study on this move.
This cheetah coalition hunts collectively and happily enjoys their prey together which is available in plenty. And not only this, they also mate together as seen in one of the pictures.
I was lucky enough to get some beautiful shots of few of their hunts. They not only hunt together but they have also have adopted a different style of hunting so there is very less chance or to that matter, there is no chance for their target to escape from their target.
