Maasai Mara - KenyaMore information:
A group of 3 males cheetahs living and hunting together in the Masai Mara is called "The Three Brothers". People tell a few stories about them. When their mother died by accident they were too young to subsist alone. Nevertheless they learned to hunt together and were able to survive. Legend or not, who knows ? Today they are big adults and very good hunters. Unlike other cheetahs they are not hunting little antelopes to feed themselves. They hunt big preys like wildebeest and zebras and are redoubtable killers.
