Description: Once in a lifetime sighting of a group of cheetahs fighting with each other for supremacy of the coalition.

Story from behind the lens: This image was shot in August of 2021, when the coalition of 5 had kicked out its leader (Olapadan), and was reduced to 4. While we were tracking this pack of hunters one on a seemingly calm and quite morning, we were expecting them to hunt, and so I was eagerly waiting for my 1st hunt shot. However to our surprise, this pack, which was trotting around the plains, suddenly broke into an all out fight. Our guide Dennis, sensed the opportunity and positioned our vehicle, right ahead of all the vehicles, who wanted to shoot this fight. The fight lasted for seconds for a few rounds, and i was fortunate enough to freeze this action moment right before my eyes.
