Description Serengeti National Park, Tanzania.

Obviously this gazelle didn't have particularly good eyesight... as soon as it was downwind of the cheetahs it bolted away. The cheetahs didn't go after it for two reasons: a) they seemed to already have eaten. b) There was a hyena nearby. Cheetahs won't hunt around hyenas because the stronger hyenas will force them to leave their meal, resulting simply in a loss of valuable energy...

that gazelle can thank its life to a hyena, very rare the enemy becomes the friend.
