In southern Africa, the impala group was resting leisurely, when a tawny figure quietly appeared in the distance, it turned out to be a cheetah.
It has been hungry for a long time, and it is slowly approaching this group of prey with a hungry stomach. The impala hasn't noticed yet. It lay down in the grass, and the grass swaying in the wind gave it a good cover. It felt that this was a good time.
Running with energy, it rushed to a lone impala. The impala found it, turned around, and ran wildly, and the cheetah chased after the impala. In this way, a battle for survival began on the prairie.
The strong limbs and streamlined body of the cheetah can help them easily run up to 100 kilometers per hour, and the impala is not bad either. They also have a name called "Flying Impala".
But the impala was visibly panicked, and its limbs were trembling uncontrollably. It had never felt that it was so close to death.
After an unknown period of time, the cheetah and its prey got closer and closer. Finally, its sharp claws fell on the impala. The impala staggered and was thrown to the ground by the cheetah, biting its neck tightly. No matter how it struggled, the end was doomed.
At this time, a baboon not far away noticed the movement here. It watched the cheetah dragging its prey away step by step. It is hesitating, to save, or not to save. The cheetah dragged its prey under a big tree, ready to enjoy it, but it couldn't relax yet. The cheetah is exhausted, and it began to look around.
It spotted the adult baboon and tried to scare baboon away with a low, threatening growl.
But it found that it was not one, but a whole group of baboons. Chasing prey has exhausted its physical strength, and it knows that it has no more strength to fight an adult male baboon and its pack. Driven by the baboons, it could only reluctantly choose to leave.
Looking at this impala again, it seems to have resigned itself to its fate, its eyes full of despair and haze.
The baboon persuaded it to cheer up, but the impala hadn't recovered yet, so it could only blink its eyes as if to say thank you.
The baboon caressed it with its hands and sat quietly by it. After a while, the impala was finally able to hold on, and staggered to its feet, looking at the baboons who had been waiting for a long time.
Baboons are also ferocious animals, dare to compete with cheetahs
Cheetahs have been the natural enemy of monkeys since ancient times. For millions of years ago, cheetahs have been the enemy of various apes, monkeys, etc.
Baboons are omnivorous animals. They eat grass, fruits, bird eggs, and snails, and even prey on small animals to supplement protein. Baboons usually inhabit trees or cliffs to avoid natural enemies.
However, in order to collect food, baboons must move away from trees and cliffs to flat grass. At this time, cheetahs will look for opportunities to prey on single or young baboons. A large number of baboons die in the mouth of cheetahs every year.
However, if you think that baboons are defenseless, you are wrong. Some adult male baboons are very powerful, they are very large, not inferior to cheetahs.
Moreover, they have a pair of sharp teeth and a strong bite force, which is more deterrent to cheetahs of average size. Baboons are not afraid of cheetahs, and sometimes they will actively attack cheetahs that are close to their territory.
