Cat fight! Two cheetahs go hell for leather in dramatic photos taken in South African national park

  • Two animals caught on camera fighting each other in Kruger National Park, South Africa
  • Cheetahs had a fierce battle and one of them ended up with serious injuries 
  • The fight between the two angry cheetahs took place near Tshokwane

These two cheetahs were caught on camera locked in a fierce battle in South Africa.

The two combatants were spotted biting and scratching at each other near Tshokwane, Kruger National Park, leaving both of them bleeding.

In the wake of the fight, one appeared to have suffered slightly worse injuries than the other, and was reportedly seen in the same spot for two days, licking his wounds 

It is not known what sparked the fierce fight, but it is likely to have been over territory as cheetahs commonly live and hunt alone.

As the cheetahs were both male, it could also have been a fight over a female.
