Some hunting lionesses almost bagged themselves a zebra, but they were doing it in the wrong place at the wrong time!

Staring death in the face this lone impala decided that there was no way it was going down without a fight!

A leopard mother brutally killed an impala ram, before showing a softer side to her nature, when she fetched her two cubs and escorted them to the kill to feed.

“Hey guys! What is this?” This clip captures the moment a playful pack of wild dogs cross paths with an unassuming tortoise.

In this touching video, a lioness pays her respects to her deceased offspring before moving on with other responsibilities.

When a snake approached their nest, there was little these birds could do to save their offspring.

Male lions are fiercely territorial. In this video, a pair of intruders is sent packing under the watchful eye of some elephant bulls.

When this mum returned from a night out, she received a warm welcome from her large family.

As this video shows, young humans are not the only ones who like to imitate their playmates

As this video shows, lions are masters at creating chaos and then reaping the rewards.

A herd of buffalo brazenly chased a pride of lions away, securing their access to a waterhole and letting the lions know who was boss!

At MalaMala Game Reserve, ranger Mike Kirkman stumbled across one of Africa’s most powerful raptors doing something surprisingly humble: dropping to the ground for a snack of swarming termites, snatching them from the air and off the earth with unhurried precision.

To hunt successfully, predators need to commit to the job at hand. In this instance, a lion seemed to be rehearsing for a later date.

A hyena was tucking into a good meal when a leopard tried to take it, but who’s meal was it? Who was the thief?

He’s an apex predator and the ruler of the savanna, but six small cubs? Apparently, that’s where he draws the line.

A male leopard settles in for a peaceful meal high above the ground, but the bush has other ideas. What follows is a masterclass in scavenger opportunism and a tense standoff between a leopard and a clan of determined hyenas.

It is rare sighting a cheetah with even a single cub in the Kruger National Park. Magda Ehlers saw a cheetah with not one but seven cubs!

We managed to film a special moment when a waterbuck watched a crocodile sneak past it.

While skulking around looking for a free meal, this scavenger was given the fright of its life.

The Xinkhova female pulls off one of nature’s most breathtaking hunting sequences, launching from cover in a spectacular airborne strike! This is precision predation at its most dramatic.
