There is danger everywhere for the Wildebeest and Zebras crossing the river. There are crocodiles in the river and other predators waiting elsewhere. Unbeknownst to us, there was a lioness hiding in the tall grass waiting for the right moment to attack. It happened so fast I didn’t see it right away but in front of us a lioness attacked one of the wildebeest. After a few minutes we moved our vehicle a little closer. This lioness actually killed at least 2, maybe 3 wildebeest while we were there.
One sole lioness. That’s impressive! Great pictures.
Thank you. She was one tough lady and had scars to show for it.
Man, look at all them flies.
. . . brutal, but lion cubs have to eat too . . .
Excellent captures, Maralee. Exciting to see albeit sad for the wildebeest.
Nature can be very harsh.
You were exceedingly lucky to witness this, Maralee!
It was pretty amazing.
Yikes!
