This young male lion catches his breath after 'hooking' this wildebeeste out of the river & despatching it on the bank. The story of what happened next is here: http://www.pbase.com/rainbirder/image/91123318.
Transfixed we watched the action unfold leading up to this kill. We were so caught up in the drama that I didn't manage to take any images of the action till it was over. Another ambush was being set nearby the action of which I managed to catch on video.
