Gepardy przeprawiają się przez rzekę

A group of cheetahs grimace as they braved the swirling currents and crocodile-infested water to get to land full of prey. The world’s only recorded coalition of 5 male cheetahs were seen desperately padding to reach safety. Major rains in Masai Mara, Kanya had caused one of the rivers to flood and become more violent than ever before. The stunning pictures were taken by hobby photographer Buddhilini de Soyza who was in a safari vehicle watching from the bank of the river. SEE OUR COPY FOR DETAILS.

The world’s only recorded coalition of 5 male cheetahs, were looking to cross this river in terrifyingly powerful currents. It seemed a task doomed to failure, with many famous cheetahs dying trying to cross much fewer daunting waters.
After hours of careful searching along the banks, they suddenly jumped into the water and began trying to swim across this maelstrom of water as we watched terrified, they would be washed away or eaten by crocodiles. Their aim was to cross over to the other side, which was part of their territory and full of game.
The lead cheetah looked straight at us during the crossing while gritting teeth with swimming effort, as if accusing us of not helping them and watching them about to die. We screamed with delight as we saw them finally cross over about a 100m downstream from where they jumped.
