Sweet photos of cheetahs and a gazelle prove we can all just get along

2/18/2013

The law of nature says kill only when you are hungry, according to these two photographs by Michel Denis, shared on Facebook. Denis who was on safari in Kenya when he noticed cheetahs and gazelles hanging out like it was no big deal. Clearly, when full, all of Earth’s creatures would prefer to hold hands (paws, hooves, fins, whatever) and sing in perfect harmony. But of course 30 minutes later, as soon as someone get peckish, it's right back into food-chain formation! Still, we have photographic evidence that cheetahs find gazelles as completely cute and adorable as they are tasty. Sort of like all those pictures of us hugging our box of Valentine’s Day chocolates before we settled down for a TV marathon. [Source]
