A coalition of male cheetahs take down a hartebeest in the Maasai Mara.

These cheetahs are known as the fast five, a group of 5 males (two sets of brothers, and an additional lone male) who hunt together to increase their chances of success - in both bringing down and defending their kills.

They will stay together until the end of their lives.

Coalitions are common with cheetahs, male siblings will team up to defend territory from other male groupings, while enjoying the other benefits of their alliance.

The uncommon aspect of this particular group is the size, a coalition of 5 has never been observed before.
