It is never easy when it is time to let the kids go their own way, and perhaps even more so in Nature. In this footage, a mother leopard gives her daughter a painful reminder that she is no longer welcome.

While lions are the largest terrestrial predators in Africa, like all creatures, they are defenceless for some time after their birth. Thankfully, lionesses make excellent mothers, protecting their young in a hostile environment.

Do you know the feeling you get when you’re so hungry you can’t wait to stuff as much food into your mouth as possible? In this amusing footage, it seems this small antelope soon came to regret such a decision.

As the world’s largest land mammals, elephants are also the most powerful creatures to walk the Earth. As such, their ability to change the environment is second only to that of humans.

Worldwide, people spend billions on self-care treatments, such as spas and various cosmetics. As these elephants show us, in the wild, pampering can be found at the nearest mud wallow.

Have you ever had an itch in a place that seems impossible to get to? And then, like this elephant, you found the perfect object to relieve your frustration.

For the average mere mortal, seeing a leopard sleeping in its natural environment is a dream come true. For this lucky contributor, the day brought three leopards and plenty action.

The relationship between various predator species is mainly driven by competition. In this challenging footage, a blitz attack by lions leaves devastation in its wake.

There can be no question that it is a privilege to view the wildlife living in our national parks. In this video, a caring elephant mom holds up traffic while she escorts her precious calf across the road.

Under the cover of darkness, interactions between the nocturnal species are always a treat. In this footage, a leopard attempts to outsmart a pangolin’s novel defences.

Birds of prey, or raptors, come in all shapes and sizes, but they are all apex predators of the air. In this footage, an unfortunate snake finds itself in the clutches of a goshawk.

When animals are injured in nature, it is hard to watch and seldom has a happy ending. In this footage, an injured hippo fights to survive against ever-increasing odds.

Parenting in Nature is never easy, with multiple threats at every turn. Accordingly, wildlife like this genet has evolved strategies to reduce risks to its precious offspring.

When a male rhino came upon a cow and calf, his amorous intentions were clear. However, with a young one to care for, she was not in the mood for love.

For the most part, general game species, like antelopes, warthogs, and elephants, get along just fine. Sometimes, however, younger animals feel the need to test boundaries.

Leopards are among the most adaptable of cats when it comes to habitats. However, when rain fell in this female’s arid region, she seemed a bit put out.

While beautiful moments abound in Nature, some are hard to witness. In this video, a leopard toys with an injured impala lamb.

Hippos are amongst the most territorially aggressive creatures in Africa, fiercely defending their aquatic homes against all intruders. As this brutal sighting shows, not even babies are spared.

While lion hunts fail more often than they succeed, when they do, they epitomise ruthless efficiency. In this dramatic footage, a young warthog’s escape is brought to an abrupt end.

In a young leopard’s life, one of the most important milestones is making its first kill. In this video, tourists were privileged to witness just such a moment.
