Crocodile and Big cats Interaction

[TheSmok]

One lioness was killed by a crocodile and another was seriously injured.

From a Facebook post:

Quote:Two days later after her injury, Annie is on her feet, killed a warthog and drank from the river.

Annie the lioness has survived an encounter with a crocodile.
Yesterday in front of Kulalu Camp an incident occurred involving the young lioness, affectionately known as Annie.
The lioness was hunting impala on the bank of the Galana River, and was taken by a crocodile. A struggle in the water ensued, observed by the Kulalu Camp staff as she was pulled under. She finally emerged on the bank, injured.
The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust vet with Kenya Wildlife Service were immediately mobilised after a call. They provided excellent rapid response treatment and assessed her injuries including lacerations to her lower left fore leg.
Last night was critical for her, vulnerable to other predators however we are pleased to report this morning that Annie has been sighted. Her reaction was to promptly run away from the vehicle.
She has subsequently been spotted walking opposite the camp on the river bank in her usual spot.
Assessment and observations of the lioness will continue over the next days.
We would like to thank the team of many and prompt action of everyone who attended Annie.
Kulalu Camp will provide updates on this lioness which has captured the attention of so many in Kenya and around the world during covid-19 after her mother was killed by a crocodile in June 2020.

There was a video showing the severity of the lioness's injury on Facebook, but now it is not available - https://www.facebook.com/Kulalucamp/post...5886442001
