This is raw nature at work. It is a reminder of how terrible nature can seem through human eyes. Psychopathic nature. No conscience. Just survival. The three cheetah cubs enjoy playing with the fawn. It is not a pleasant type of play but hunting play. They are playing with the animal as if they are playing with a toy. They bite the animal and then chased after it. The gazelle fawn is clearly terrified and rightly so. But before they can kill the gazelle fawn a large baboon comes along and shoos the young cheetahs away, goes up to the gazelle, bites it, kills it and carries it off. End of story. As I said, raw nature at play and for me it is frankly unpleasant but it is all around us. It’s how evolution has worked. It’s a reminder that everything that humankind does is also the end result of evolution. And it, too, is probably equally cruel if not more so.
