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.

What happens when an amorous pair of endangered mammals decides to do the deed? Let’s just say what follows is surprisingly gentle, prolonged, and lacking in fanfare.

When a tourist encountered a pair of leopards while on a game drive, he was left feeling decidedly deflated. Apparently needing a break from its romantic interlude, the male leopard sought to let off some steam in other ways.

When she was discovered by a Cape buffalo bull, an unfortunate lioness’s day went from bad to worse. Already in poor condition, the lioness was helpless against the angry buffalo’s onslaught.

Have nosy neighbours intruded on what you hoped would be an intimate moment with your significant other?

This sighting shows how leopards are capable of moving prey from the ground to tree tops with prey larger than them

Unable to get traction on a slippery road surface, an impala lamb could not escape a cheetah’s grasp. Showing patience and perseverance, the predator-in-training eventually secured its prey, to the satisfaction of its mother.

While attempting to escape a trio of cheetahs, an impala collided with a nearby vehicle. For the cheetahs, this unfortunate accident made life a whole lot easier.

A raft of hippos appeared to be both bemused and upset by an unusual visitor. This, when a small shark tried feeding in their midst.

When a lioness emerged from the thick vegetation to care for her cubs, it took a while to find them. Frustrated by the long grass, the family played a lion’s version of ‘Marco Polo’, which led to a happy reunion.

When a lone elephant calf was attacked by a pride of lions, it appeared that its fate was sealed. However, in a bizarre twist of fate, help arrived in the form of some very upset Cape buffaloes.

When a lioness went looking for love, she quickly got the attention of a trio of suitors. Apparently eager to conceive, she mated with all three in succession.
