Cheetah cubs catch and play with gazelle before baboon arrives to steal it
Three cheetah cubs had no idea what to do after catching a gazelle, playing with their prey instead of eating it, before a baboon swept in to steal it away.
Fascinating footage, captured in Kenya by wildlife photographer Laura Dyer last month, shows the six-month-old cubs chasing a tiny fawn around, as their mother watches from a distance.
Their dithering cost them a meal, as a massive male baboon later arrives to scare the cubs off, picking up the gazelle and taking it away for himself.
