As the saying goes, “If you can’t take the heat, then get out of the kitchen.” However, when it got too hot for this lion, he simply took his food to a cooler place.

The ground shook as two giant pachyderms sparred for dominance. However, their jousting was brought to an abrupt halt when Nature called.

They say a mother’s work is never done, and this applies in the animal kingdom, too. Watch how this mother leopard patiently tends to her energetic cub.

When a pregnant wildebeest walked straight into an ambush, she lost more than just her life. As her killers devoured her, one came away with a grisly prize.

The world can appear to be a big and intimidating place, especially if you’re just a baby. See how this adorable elephant calf goes about showing that he, too, can be both big and intimidating.

What happens when a lioness can’t find all but one of her cubs? Simple, she enlists the help of that cub in calling for them.

A leopard stalked an impala in plain sight in a display of incredible stealth. However, just as it was about to pounce, something startled the impala, and the chase was on.

Not used to being seen as potential prey, a lion ignored a nearby ‘log’, inadvertently putting itself in peril. The lion narrowly avoided not one, but two massive crocodiles before reaching safety.

After being set upon by a pride of lions, a buffalo’s fate appeared sealed. However, its calls for help were heard, and help arrived just in time.

When two lions scented a warthog in its burrow, the pair tried to dig it out. To the tourists watching, their serious endeavour took on comic proportions.

In the African veld, a peaceful setting can erupt in violence right before your eyes. In this video, tourists had a front row seat to just such an event.

After what was likely an epic battle, a male lion lay dead. The subsequent indignity its body was subjected to served as a reminder that there is no place for sentimentality in Nature.

In Nature, size matters. In this video, we see what happens when two of Africa’s heavyweight species come face to face.

In Nature, it pays to know when to fight and when to flee. In this video, we see a rarely seen striped polecat wisely choose the latter in an encounter with a feisty competitor.

Like most cats, lions don’t seem to like getting wet. But, there are exceptions, like when the food they crave is in the middle of a dam.

From an evolutionary standpoint, monkeys are some of mankind’s closest relatives. So it is little wonder that we are amused when their behaviour mimics our own.

When a pride of lions were seen walking along a riverbank, few would’ve thought they were in danger. But then, an unseen danger turned predator into prey.

Elephants are incredible. And big. Very big. In this video, viewers get a rare, close-up view of magnificent bull, allowing us to appreciate the species’ finer details.

As a pride of lions lay resting at a water hole, a giraffe ambled by. Thinking this might be an easy meal, the lions were in for a rude surprise.

Survival on the plains of Africa can often be measured in inches. And, when pursued by the fastest animal on earth, those margins become ever smaller.
