It is not often that we find ourselves feeling sympathy for a crocodile. However, when four lions ganged up on one recently, it was hard not to.

In a remarkable sequence of events, a variety of species attempted to claim rights to a fish meal. This video reminds us how, in Nature, there are no foregone conclusions.

After spotting a leopard setting up an ambush, Claire West got excited when some impala arrived on the scene. Consequently, she had front row seats when the leopard attacked.

After bringing down a waterbuck in a river, a pride of lions settled down to feast. Ever the opportunist, a crocodile soon arrived, hoping to get in on the action.

On the plains of Africa, an ancient hierarchy exists among the various meat-eaters. In this video, we see how easily one scavenger’s reign comes to an end.

It’s not every day (or night) that you see a leopard. And it’s certainly rare to see an aardvark. In this video, we witness a grim battle for life.

For some reason, lions are often referred to as the king of the jungle. However, although they may sit at the top of the African food chain, as this video shows, there are exceptions.

The beauty of observing wildlife is that you never know what to expect. As is the case in this strange interaction between predators and prey.

When different species meet unexpectedly, it can lead to some rather peculiar behaviour. That was the case when a hippo encountered a small herd of rhinos in the dead of night.

As a mother leopard and her cub relaxed in a tree, they saw danger approaching. Showing remarkable calm, the pair averted potential disaster when two lions arrived.

There is a common misconception that, beyond finding their next meal, predators have nothing to worry about. This video shows how they too must be vigilant at all times.

Among Africa’s big cats, leopards stand out for their beauty and power. However, sometimes even these awesome predators overestimate their remarkable abilities.

Of all the predator-prey interactions one can witness, those between members of the Big 5 are among the most impressive. In this video, a pride of lions tackle a Cape buffalo.

Many people expect prey species to flee the moment they see predators. However, there are often exceptions, as seen in this fascinating interaction between lions and a giraffe.

As scavengers arrived to feast on the remains of a kill, a predator started feeling anxious. Then, in a hurry to depart, its regal status took a knock.

An elephant calf had a point to prove when it encountered a safari vehicle. More than just bravado, the youngster’s antics were vital training for a long life ahead.

For prey species, anti-predator vigilance is crucial. Watch what happens when a wildebeest fails to spot predators hiding in plain sight.

The world’s largest land mammal is renowned for its strong social bonds and intelligence. In this video, we see how a herd of elephants combine to help a calf in distress.

A pair of lion cubs were enjoying rough-housing under their mother’s watchful eye. Then, as their play escalated, one found itself on a slippery slope.
