Nature is tough, and the strong survive.

From 15 yards, my guests and I watch this 300 pound lion munch a 4-day-old wildebeest, dead in seconds... but like any smart cat she decided to have some fun.

Giving the young wildebeest a false sense of hope, she let it go for periods of time (5-10 seconds) at a time, but not allowing it to go far .. a good game of cat and mouse? Finally, after a few swats, and whines from the wee one, life ended, as
another life continues.

Real wildlife drama, so amazing that we saw three live kills during this tour in February.

Best regards.
