In a bold move, a caracal attempted to hunt an unlikely prey. Its target, a family of warthogs, seemed as surprised as the tourists who witnessed the incident.

An unusual incident unfolded at a waterhole when a baby crocodile seized an impala lamb. After eventually freeing itself, the impala then faced a new and unlikely tormentor.

For humans, shared meals are normally friendly and sociable. However, it’s a case of fighting for your share or going hungry for lions.

A lazy leopard was lucky to escape with its life after it took a siesta. Unbeknownst to the spotted cat, another big cat had it in its sights.

An unusual predation occurred at a water hole, when a black-backed jackal took on a marabou stork. Although the stork fought valiantly, once the jackal clamped its jaws on its neck, its fate was sealed.

While enjoying some family time at a local waterhole, an elephant calf had an inadvertent learning experience. Watch as the playful youngster learns about the effects of gravity.

In an epic battle, a female buffalo did all she could to protect her calf from a lion. However, when the rest of the pride showed up, she was soon fighting for her own survival.

Proving that curiosity is not limited to humans, an elephant approached a safari vehicle. What followed was a remarkable display of gentleness and tolerance.

After a rhino had its peace disturbed by a young elephant, it seemed a tense standoff might ensue. Not to be intimidated, the elephant de-escalated the situation in a most amusing manner.

When a leopard dragged her kill up a tree, she probably looked forward to dining in peace. However, things took a surprising turn when some unwelcome bystanders picked up the scent of fresh meat.

A cuckoo narrowly escaped certain death after being captured by a sparrowhawk. Although pinned to the ground, the brave cuckoo squawked and flapped its way to freedom.

After wild dogs cornered a lechwe in a waterhole, things looked pretty bad for it. However, when hyenas arrived, things went from bad to worse for both the antelope and the dogs.

A lone hyena’s early morning visit to a waterhole resulted in an unexpected brush with death. Were it not for its sharp reactions and superior stamina, this story would not have ended well for the hyena.

This distressing video shows the tragic consequences of speeding vehicles in wildlife areas. After being hit by an unknown vehicle, an elephant calf’s herd tried in vain to help it.

When a male leopard was seen all but embracing a baby antelope, you might easily have thought it was baby-sitting. However, it soon became evident that this was a typical cat behaviour — playing with its food.

Lions target a white rhino in a rare showdown, but the tables turn fast. Watch as brute strength, sharp horns, and predator missteps collide in a thrilling standoff.

It would be difficult to say who was the most surprised when a partially blind male leopard casually joined crocodiles in a feeding frenzy.

Watching wildlife can be confusing at times, especially when behaviours are hard to explain. In this video, an elephant’s posing and gestures are a case in point.

A stunning moment for a mother and calf’s bond has been captured in film. All the calf’s first, breath, walk, and milk in one singular frame in the brutal African bush.

When an angry elephant threw a massive tantrum on the road, he sent wildlife and traffic scattering in all directions. Although his sudden hissy-fit seemed unprovoked, there are telltale clues that explain the behaviour.
