An old picture of two cheetahs attacking an impala has resurfaced online and is going viral. The picture shows the prey standing still while the predators attack it. What is striking in the image is the impala’s reaction to the attack. The pic is going viral with the narrative that the unperturbed reaction of the animal is due to the fact that it was trying to save its family. In the post, it is also claimed that the photographer who captured the picture soon went into depression. Both the claims regarding the picture are false.
Claim: “This picture is considered one of the best pictures in the last ten years because it made its owner ((the photographer)) in a state of depression: The story says: these two cheetahs attacked the gazelle at a time when it was playing with its young children, and that the deer had an opportunity to escape, and the distance and saving her life were in her favour, but she decided to surrender herself to the cheetahs in this way. Why?? To give her youngsters a chance to escape...because if she ran away first, there wouldn't be much time for her babies to escape. The picture is the last moment of the mother with her throat in the mouth of the cheetah, as she looks firmly to make sure that her young escaped safely before they were prey. A mother is the only person in the world who can give her life for you for nothing. Remember her, even with a prayer, may Allah have mercy on our mothers,” wrote a Facebook user while sharing the picture.
