Viral Message Verification:- A viral image of a cheetah-deer hunt and how the deer surrendered herself to the cheetah is going viral over the social media. The message tried to show how the deer sacrifice herself to save her Childs.
In the post we can see 3 cheetahs surrounding a stoic looking impala.
I witnessed this Cheetah kill in September 2013 in the Maasai Mara, Kenya. Narasha, the cheetah mom, was teaching her youngsters how to kill prey. However they were a bit slow on the uptake and they were playing with the hapless Impala prey instead of killing it. Narasha, the cheetah mom is the one that is grabbing the impala by the neck in all the photos. The youngsters practice some skills like pouncing and tripping which they get right, but they cannot seem to be able to get how to strangle the impala effectively.
