Run for your life!!! 2 large dominant males' lion Run for your life!!!

2 large dominant males' lions thirst for Cheetah blood.

This behavior is not uncommon for large cats. Lions see cheetah as direct competition for food and because of that, they will do all they can in their considerable power to eradicate that threat.

During this encounter, Mama Cheetah played Russian roulette and slowed down just enough to get the pride males to follow her and leave her sub adult cubs. At one point, the space between the 2 cats was only a few meters.
🌕 This last full "blue" moon was extraordinary. 🌕 This last full "blue" moon was extraordinary. The full moon has always been a source of fascination and mystery, especially when it comes to its effect on animals in the wild. 🐺🦊🐻

In ancient times, people believed that the full moon had a powerful influence on human behavior, leading to the term "lunatic" which comes from the Latin word "luna" meaning moon. But did you know that animals are also affected by the full moon?

According to folklore and tales, the full moon can cause animals to act in strange ways. For example, some people believe that wolves howl more often during a full moon, while others say that cats become more active and playful.

In reality, the full moon can have a significant impact on the behavior of animals in the wild. Nocturnal animals such as leopards and lions are more active during a full moon, while prey animals such as antelope and rodents may become more cautious.

Despite the myths and legends surrounding the full moon, there is no denying its influence on the natural world. Have you ever noticed any changes in the behavior of animals during a full moon? Share your experiences in the comments below!
