Baboon snatches baby gazelle off cheetah cubs after they catch it

Don’t play with your food! Baboon snatches baby gazelle off cheetah cubs after they catch it but have no idea how to kill it Three cheetah cubs were playing with a new born gazelle learning how to hunt The predators chased the fawn and were able to bring it to the ground But none of the six-month-old cheetahs knew how to rip the gazelle apart A large baboon bounded onto the scene in the Masai Mara and stole the gazelle This is the moment a family of cheetah cubs surrounded a small gazelle, but lacked the killer instinct to rip it apart for lunch. Instead, a large baboon bounded into view to carry off the tiny fawn. The footage was captured by Laura Dyer in Kenya’s Masai Mara inside the Naboishio Conservancy. The unfortunate fawn had been tracked down by the cheetah’s mother who delivered it to her cubs as a learning exercise. The six-month-old cubs were supposed to jump on the gazelle and rip it apart. Instead they surrounded the smaller animal but failed to attack and kill it.
