Two male cheetahs have been spotted mating with the same female in an incredibly rare sighting captured on camera in the Kalahari Desert by a group of tourists as four giraffes looked on.
The footage, taken at Tswalu reserve in South Africa, captured the moment both male cheetahs pinned the female to the ground. As the female tried to wriggle free one male sank his teeth into the back of her neck to hold her in place. Both males then jostled to get on top before the female fought them off.
Not only is the sexual behaviour itself rare but cheetahs are considered quite shy when mating.
