当三只印度豹看到一只落单的小羚羊，会有什麽事发生？吃掉他吗？那你就错了！他们成 了好朋友，而且一起玩起来。什麽时候人类才能像这样，把动物当成朋友而不是食物看待 ？ 哈罗，小羚羊，要不要跟我们一起玩呢？ 摄影师Michel Denis-Huot去年10月前往非洲旅行时，捕捉到这几张很有趣的画面。他说 ，当他看到这一幕时，真是大吃一惊。「这三只豹兄弟在18个月大时就离开母亲，自己独 立生活。那天早上我们看到他们时，他们走得很快，并不时停下来一起玩。然後他们看到 一群黑斑羚羊飞奔而过，但是其中一只小羚羊跑得不够快而落单了，三只豹兄弟很快就追 上他了。」 接下来的画面很不寻常，三只豹兄弟跟小羚羊玩了起来，就像家猫在玩毛线球一样。他们 舔舔他，并用爪子轻摸他的头。玩够了之後，小羚羊就道别跑走了。 图文~ 中文 http://tinyurl.com/yb9jstg 英文 http://tinyurl.com/yhasybt Hello little antelope, would you like to play with us? Coming from three deadly cheetahs, it's the kind of invitation that's best refused - but amazingly, this impala escaped unscathed from its encounter. Luckily for the youngster, it seems these three male cheetahs simply weren't hungry. No claws for alarm: Astonishingly, these cheetahs, whose instinct is to hunt for food, decide to play with this baby impala No claws for alarm: Astonishingly, these cheetahs, whose instinct is to hunt for food, decide to play with this baby impala That's because unlike other big cats, the cheetah hunts in the daytime, either in the early morning or late afternoon. The bursts of speed needed to catch their prey tire them out - meaning they need to rest after a kill. And that seems to be the secret to the antelope's survival, as it's likely it fell into the cheetahs' clutches when they were already full - and tired out - from an earlier hunt. Photographer Michel Denis-Huot, who captured these amazing pictures on safari in Kenya's Masai Mara in October last year, said he was astounded by what he saw. 'These three brothers have been living together since they left their mother at about 18 months old,' he said. 'On the morning we saw them, they seemed not to be hungry, walking quickly but stopping sometimes to play together. Sticking your neck out: Oblivious to the danger, the impala appears to return the affection to the cheetahs Sticking your neck out: Oblivious to the danger, the impala appears to return the affection to the cheetahs New found friends: The new-found friends part with a farewell lick New found friends: The new-found friends part with a farewell lick 'At one point, they met a group of impala who ran away. But one youngster was not quick enough and the brothers caught it easily.' These extraordinary scenes followed, as the cheetahs played with the young impala the way a domestic cat might play with a ball of string. Sprint finish: Impala is off the menu as the youngster makes its exit Sprint finish: Impala is off the menu as the youngster makes its exit 'They knocked it down, but then they lost interest,' said Michel. 'For more than 15 minutes, they remained with the young antelope without doing anything other than licking it or putting their paws on the impala's head.' Even more extraordinarily, this story has a happy ending - after one tense moment when it looked as though one cheetah would bite the impala on the neck, the youngster ran away. Let's hope it didn't tell all its friends how nice those big, scarylooking cheetahs really are when you get to know them. --------------- Amazing!>W<~ -- 　　 　　　　　　★善待动物 慈悲 吃素★　 　　　　　　　 这是我们能为自己 为动物 以及为整个星球所能做得最好的事 　　　 　　＊2010 Vegan New Life 维根新生活＊　　　　 　 　　　　　　 ～吃素ˇ环保ˇ拯救地球～　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　http://www.vegannewlife.org/　　　　　　　 　　　　　　 http://blog.sina.com.tw/vegan/ 　　　　　　 --
