 The young male Lion & the Wilderbeest |
 Our presence didn't put him off but the poor Wilderbeest was still alive at this stage |
 You could hear the gnawing of gristle |
 A wider shot |
 A Wilderbeest providing food in the circle of life |
 Elephant carcass |
 Hippo |
 This raptor was feeding on a Wilderbeest carcass |
 These Lions had full bellies - see next image |
 A very recent kill |
 The Hyenas / Vulchers will clean it up |
 Vultures opening up this recent carcass |
 This vulture's head is perfectly shaped for the purpose |
 A different view |
 Running the gauntlet of the Mara crossing |
 Thinking about crossing |
 Giving it a go |
 Hard to catch in shallow water |
 Too slow |
 Hard to get a feeling for the enormous size |
 Size indicated by comparing to the dead wilderbeest |
 This young foal is about to head for the water |
 A few tempting fate to cross the Mara River |
 Oh oh, there's something in the water |
 Many made it across the shallow section |
 Following the leader |
 The silly foal heads for the deeper water |
 We all sighed in relief when it made it |
 However, It couldn't get up the bank |
 and the big croc grabbed it |
 Other crocs zoom in too |
 Barrel rolling to drown the zebra |
