Elephant stumbling over three cheetahs

This page of Phanhabs Savanna was inspired by a rather strange encounter we witnessed on one of our safaris. In the book I moved the scene to the edge of a plane, but in real we were driving through an area of woodland, when we spotted three male cheetahs. Normally these graceful spotted cats, who are known for their impressive speed, prefer open areas where they can easily pic up and pursue their prey. These three brothers were looking for a shady, quiet spot to rest. Having found that place they settled down and started grooming. They were shocked when suddenly an elephant appeared out of nowhere. Obviously the elephant, flapping it’s ears, was equally surprised to stumble over three cheetahs. More information about Phanhabs in the twikga books portfolio…
