These photographs show the moment a remarkably acrobatic cheetah performs a somersault to catch a fleeing impala during a vicious dust-up. The airborne fight between predator and prey just seconds before the impala was caught by the large cat in the Masai Mara National Reserve, in Kenya.

His captivating image sequence shows the cheetah tightly holding onto the impala as it leaps through the air - dragging the fierce feline with it.

The cheetah in these photos watching her fail at her first target, she spotted this young impala run towards her.

'Imani jumped in the air and did a perfect somersault by stretching and flipping her body completely.

'Her paws then reached out, grabbing the back of the impala's left leg before pulling the impala down to the ground.' (Daily Mail)
