Lion Predation

[Psps77]

 Hi! This is my first post. A couple of months ago I saw several pictures of a male lion taking down a giraffe, and after several months someone finally uploaded a video of the event.

'I've been in the wild long enough but this will go down in history as the first time I witnessed a successful hunting mission from the beginning to the emotional end of the road for the giraffe. The poor giraffe slid and fell when a pair of lions that was lying under a lone yellow barked acacia in a vast lush savannah- adjacent to an equally expansive swamp-begun a more or less lazy chase. The gigantic fellows took advantage and pounced. The elegant giant must have been tired because he never put up a fight, save for a listless attempt to arise and shake off the lion that had already dug his paws and canines into his skin. We couldn't do much except click away the moments. Enjoy this video of the entire show that happened at Iewa Wildlife Conservancy. Pardon my shaky hands during the action.

 

When we were young, my siblings and I, while watching nature documentaries, would be angry at the documentarists for not coming to the rescue of the poor victims of the big cats. It was my turn to let nature take its course. Don't forget to send your condolences to the family of the giraffe that watched the last moments of their loved one wondering how flimsy life can be."
