Unsuspecting Impala Walks Directly Into Cheetah Territory In Massive Faux Pas

The intensity of a predator’s stalk, hunt, and chase is unlike anything we’ve ever seen in life. We are continually astounded by the cleverness of animals as the years go on. They grow and adapt to their surroundings, unlike anything we’ve ever seen. However, sometimes predators don’t need to hunt and stalk their prey. Because sometimes, the prey comes directly to them. Like food served on a silver platter. We see this happening in the Masai Mara in the video below. 

Predator and Prey Sighting at the Naboisho Conservancy

The next YouTube video posted below takes us to the Naboisho Conservancy, which is located in Kenya, Africa. According to their website, their mission is to be one of the best wildlife destinations where tourists can experience Africa in its rawest form. The Maasai Sightings YouTube page shares their description of the events that unfolded below. 

“Rams weigh around 60 Kg and ewes 40 Kg. A black stripe extends from the top of the rump down the back of each thigh. The lower hind legs have glands beneath tufts of black hair. Only the rams have horns that are lyre-shaped and reach a length of 700mm. They use their horns against other impala rams but are completely useless against predators.” 

Intense Predator Stalking

At the start of this video posted below, we see two cheetahs that are sitting out in the open plains. The wildlife experts that are filming this let us know that these two cheetahs are actually brothers.  Suddenly, these cheetahs are alerted to an unsuspecting impala that has wandered into their territory, and it doesn’t even know it. 

The cheetahs leap up to this opportunity. They chase after this impala, and with almost no effort at all, they tackle this impala together, and they both enjoy this meal that will fill them up. 

What do Cheetahs Eat?

Cheetahs are the world’s fastest land animal that is able to reach speeds of 70 miles per hour. These felines are carnivores. According to the North Western University’s Qualitative Reasoning Grou, they define carnivores as the following.

“A carnivore is an animal that gets food from killing and eating other animals. Carnivores generally eat herbivores but can eat omnivores, and occasionally other carnivores.”

As carnivores, cheetahs will eat prey such as gazelles, wildebeests, and hares, and as seen below, they will also prey on impalas.
