This incredible sᴄᴇɴᴇ shows a newborn wildebeest repelling two cheetahs, one hyena, and a jackal yet still managing to survive. Amazing photos captured by expert safari guide Garth Thompson in Kᴇɴʏᴀ’s Maasai Mara Conservancies depict the great escape as the little wildebeest valiantly battles four ᴅᴀɴɢᴇʀᴏᴜs predators.
As these spectacular images demonstrate, two ferocious cheetahs ᴀᴛᴛᴀᴄᴋ the wildebeest first, pinning the juvenile to the ground. As the ғɪɢʜᴛ appears to be over, a hungry hyena approaches the group from behind and successfully scares the two cheetahs away.
The hyena then keeps watch on the sᴛᴀʀᴛʟᴇd wildebeest and repeatedly tries to Bɪᴛᴇ it. Refusing to give up, the wildebeest eventually manages to get up, but not before a jackal and one of the cheetahs show up and attempt again.
Amazingly, the wildebeest escapes the grasp of each of the three predators despite being surrounded and races back to the safety of the herd.
Zɪᴍʙᴀʙᴡᴇan native Garth, 57, said it was thrilling to watch the escape. He couldn’t believe it because it was such an unexpected joyful ending, he added. He was taken aback when the wildebeest managed to escape their hands and rejoin the herd since he wasn’t quite ready for what happened.
