When dinnertime arrives on the sun-scorched savannah of Kenya's Maasai Mara, you either fight for your life or your livelihood... but it doesn't always go according to plan.
As this incredible series of photographs show, there is one kind of free dinner that likes being free, and will fight hoof and tail to keep it that way.
So when Malaika the cheetah tried to hunt down a young wildebeest, the plucky calf stood its ground and gave the predator a nasty surprise.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/04/22/article-0-196CDD93000005DC-876_964x543.jpg Easy target? The wildebeest calf was slightly slower than the rest of the adult wildebeest and looked like an easy target
The images, taken by British photographer Manoj Shah, show the wildebeest fought back sending the cheetah running from its horns.
The cheetah - named Malaika by local guides - had been tracked for several days by Manoj's party studying her hunting habits.
Manoj said: 'The cheetah mother Malaika had to hunt every day or two to feed herself and the fast growing cub.
'I was taking her pictures as she was seated with the cub on a termite mound. By being on top of the mound the cheetah could scan the vast savanna grassland and easily spot any prey
