Cheetah, me, and myself: Cheetah looks like he has three heads in a perfectly-timed safari photograph
- This picture of a Kenyan cheetah was perfectly timed to display three heads.
- Image captured in Masai Mara’s rain-swept North Conservancy plains
- The area has one of the highest densities of cheetahs per square mile globally
Two heads are always better than one, but the cheetahs in Kenya took this saying to heart.
Maasai Maasai Mara captured this photo perfectly. It seemed like one large cat had three heads, all looking in the same direction.
Paul Goldstein from Wimbledon is a wildlife photographer who captured this image. He said that moments like these are’spellbinding’, and it was worth seven hours in rain.
Cheetahs can sprint at 25 mph in 2.5 seconds and are one of the most agile animals on earth.
While raising their cubs, females often live with either one or both of their cubs. Female cheetahs usually live together with their male brothers, often in small groups.
Maasai Mara’s cheetah population is declining, but it has one the highest density of cheetahs/square mile anywhere in the world.
Three cheetahs perfectly line up to create the illusion that one animal is three heads, creating “spellbinding” moments
The moment was caught on camera of Eastern Africa’s north conservancy in Maasai Mara, Kenya
Male cheetahs usually live together with their male brothers, and females are left alone to protect their cubs.
For the rare sightings in the wet grasses, the majestic cats were perfectly placed
