When an elephant cow emerged from the bush, she brought with her a delightful surprise. While Mom went about her business, it was clear the calf had only one thing on its mind.

After spotting something disturbing in the river, this lion hesitated before taking the plunge. What followed was a near-miss for two of Africa’s apex predators.

Spotted hyenas are renowned scavengers, using their intelligence to steal from other predators. However, as this video shows, even they have limits.

Despite their relatively small size, honey badgers are renowned for their strength, courage, and can-do-attitude. In this unusual footage, a lone honey badger tackles a snake many times its own size.

After escaping its mother, a baby baboon did the rounds among its troop. His adventure taught him that there is no place like being in Mom’s care.

As an elephant approached a water trough, he assumed his size would give him immediate access. However, one tenacious warthog was not easily convinced.

Wildlife is unpredictable. One moment, animals can seem placid, and the next, their behaviour changes. In this video, tourists have a close encounter with an elephant

While not territorial by nature, male warthogs do engage in combat on occasion. And while it may appear brutal, as in this footage, they actually show considerable restraint.

A large hippo intimidated a entire pack of wild dogs by opening its mouth to display dagger-like teeth.

The odds of two jackals chasing a wild cat up a tree are extremely rare. However, as we have learned, anything is possible in the bushveld!

After catching a massive warthog, this leopard struggled to kill it outright. Consequently, the warthog’s squeals drew some unwanted attention.

These lion cubs climbed a tree for no reason other than to be in the tree!

Instead of a terrific fight over prey, these two predators found a way to make peace!

A hyena mom had to defend herself against all three cubs at once as they ganged up on her!

A famous Kruger cheetah mother has captured hearts across the park for her incredible litter size, but her story is also a sobering reminder of just how tough life is for young cheetahs. Now, sightings suggest her family has shrunk once again.

Of all the big cats, only lions live in groups, known as prides. As such, they form very strong bonds within the group that start at a very early age.

A brutal impala kill drew more than just the Ottawa pack to the feeding frenzy. What followed was a tense standoff between three of the bush’s fiercest competitors, all vying for a share of the spoils.

A mother’s love was on full display when this hyena mother carried her tiny baby a long distance through the rain.

This poor impala stood no chance against a hungry leopard, which approached it while it was still basking in the waters of a waterhole.

A tense but bloodless standoff played out at Phinda Forest Lodge, as a lioness and her curious cubs tested their luck against a mother rhino who wasn’t backing down. What unfolded was less a hunt and more a lesson in boundaries, for predator and prey alike.
