Howard Cleland: " a coalition of three massive male lions that killed and devoured a juvenile white rhino over two days. The flies were buzzing everywhere and a Sanparks ranger was stationed in a vehicle (windows up) waiting to collect the horn once the lions had gorged and moved on. They were the three biggest male lions I've ever seen. Here one of the lions pulls the rhino over. "

" The fight or flight response, or the acute-stress response is a physiological reaction that occurs in microseconds where under a real attack your brain will instantly decide to either flee or stay and fight. This wildebeest experience just that. It gets up and instantly thinks to fight. However, this lioness is a mother and has mouths to feed. There’s no going back. Popularized by BJJ guard players, she pulls guard where she believes she can eventually take an advantageous position. She bites down on the neck of her opponent whilst holding the back of its head and strangles the wildebeest dead. It’s like a weird mix between a triangle and a guillotine.  "

" While a lioness weighs on average 150kg, a black wildebeest will weight around 180kg. 30 potentially 30kg, 65 pounds difference, the lioness attacks her prey, takes him down, takes his back and goes for the choke. "
