It is so rare that a cheetah is hunted by an antelope, and a top hunter falls into such a fate!
Cheetahs are known to be very fierce hunters on the prairie. They have well-developed muscles, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers only takes an astonishing 2-3 seconds, making them the fastest chocobos.
They are often able to approach their prey in an instant, giving their prey a fatal blow, and can be called the "king assassin" of the animal kingdom!
But this time the cheetah overturned in the "Bronze Bureau". In a joint hunt for antelope, they not only failed to capture the antelope, but were also killed by the antelope's operation!
We have seen a lot of cheetahs killing antelopes, but it is the first time we have heard of antelopes hunting cheetahs.
- Fast and Furious on the Prairie
It's a very ordinary day in the Serengeti savannah of Africa. In the sun, the grassland was already somewhat yellowed, and a few antelopes were leisurely grazing. At first glance, there are still some feelings of quiet good years.
But beneath the calm surface lurks danger. A female cheetah is pacing, and it is looking for food for its family.
Among the many prey targets, a large and fat antelope is obviously a superior choice, but it must be cautious.
Because each attack consumes a lot of their physical energy, 20 seconds to consume the equivalent of a roasted sausage, unsuccessful will become a ren.
Suddenly, the cheetah's running footsteps broke the calm of the grassland, and the mother cheetah, who was more than 100 kilometers per hour and had a stride of seven meters, hit an antelope like lightning.
The antelope was frightened and galloped, and where the two ran, the dust flew all over the sky, staging the "Fast and Furious" on the grassland.
In pursuit, a larger antelope entered the sight of the cheetah mother. The mother cheetah immediately changed the target and began to rush to the larger antelope.
But it did not expect that this greedy choice would cost itself a huge price.
- Why should you go it alone?
With excellent speed, the cheetah mother quickly caught up with the great antelope. It grabs the antelope's hind buttocks with its front paws and bites the back of the antelope with its teeth in an attempt to pounce on the prey.
But the larger the prey, the more difficult it is to subdue, the antelope runs faster, flashing left and right, and although the cheetah mother clings to the antelope, she is obviously a little powerless to subdue. Blitzkrieg turned to war of attrition.
If you can't take it alone, then beat it up! Two more cheetahs joined the battle, and they cooperated in tacit understanding, one biting the antelope's hind legs and the other biting the antelope's abdomen.
The mother cheetah tried to bite the antelope's neck, causing the antelope to lose its balance and unable to stand. The cheetahs were about to taste the fruits of victory, and just then, an accident occurred.
- Anti-kill! Antelopes can blow a lifetime of operation
The strong antelope did not obediently tie its hands, it stuck to the ground, kept standing, and kept shaking its head, making it impossible for the cheetah mother to find the right angle to mouth.
Suddenly, the antelope seized the opportunity, bowed its head and supported the belly of the cheetah mother with its nearly 75cm horn, and then threw the cheetah mother into the air and fell to the ground.
The antelope, which had the advantage of position, took advantage of the victory to pursue, and did not stop attacking the mother cheetah with its horns, arching it several meters away, pressing the mother cheetah to the ground and rubbing.
The other two saw that it was not right and rushed to support, but it was too late. The antelope struck a victorious blow, piercing the belly of the cheetah mother with its sharp horns.
The huge pain made the cheetah mother lose its combat effectiveness in an instant, and the leopards did not dare to go near the antelope again, and the antelope flew away.
The cheetah's mother was seriously injured, incapacitated, and in the steppe where the weak and the strong preyed, there was only one way to die for her.
The thrill of being chased and killed may make the antelope feel uneasy, but it is estimated that the anti-killing cheetah operation will allow it to blow in front of its companions for a lifetime.
Although this is an event in the animal kingdom, it has a lot of implications for us living in an equally competitive human society.
Cheetahs have a huge advantage, but they pay a huge price for blind confidence and greed; The antelope is in adversity, but it is strong and fights hard, and it turns the tables in one fell swoop.
Playing steadily and being strong and not giving up is the right attitude for us to face life.
