The cheetah is one of the rare predators in the wild that can successfully hunt zebras. But a lone cheetah rarely attacks zebras traveling in groups due to the considerable size differences between animals and living habits.
The battle scene in the wild takes place in the Naboisho reserve in Kenya. The mother cheetah wants to drive away the zebras to protect the cubs.
The special series of photos shows the fastest cheetah in the world sprinting towards a herd of zebras wandering too close to three cubs in Kenya.
But one of the black and white striped mammals turned suddenly and galloped at the mother leopard. The leopard stopped, stunned when the zebra turned to give chase.
The zebra chased the cheetah across the plains and shoved it into the bushes before striding victoriously.
The photographer who captured the moment said the losing leopard had to run into the bushes to hide in the surprise of the cubs and bystanders.
The cheetah narrowly escaped death from the frenzy of the zebra and it led its cubs away from the ferocious herd of zebras.
