Desperate times call for desperate measures, and this clan of hyenas proved it when they had to make a bold stand to protect their young. In this rare sighting, the clan uses an interesting tactic to try to lure a pride of lions away from their den.

A cheetah mother showed extreme courage when she used herself to distract a lion and lure the large beast away from her cubs.

Two young male lions wandered out of Kruger National Park and into danger. What followed was a high-stakes rescue operation that showcased the commitment of South Africa’s top wildlife heroes.

A vervet monkey feeding on a chameleon right near the road was the centre of attention in a recent sighting filmed during a game drive at Duba Plains, Okavango Delta.

A young leopard successfully stalked and brought down its prey in full view of an appreciative audience in this spectacular sighting filmed in the Kruger National Park.

An evening visit to a waterhole turns chaotic when a pride of lions faces off with a territorial hippo and a surprise elephant guest. This dramatic showdown at sunset highlights the raw power and unpredictability of life in the African bush.

When a pack of wild dogs efficiently takes down an impala, the real challenge begins when opportunistic scavengers arrive on the scene. In this high-stakes showdown, speed and strategy are key to the pack’s survival.

A little frog refused to go out without a fight in a tussle with a saddle-billed stork in the Mala Mala Game Reserve.

A sick lioness moved hearts when she attempted to hunt off the side of the road in view of motorists in the Kruger National Park.

On the plains of Africa, an ancient hierarchy exists among the various meat-eaters. In this video, we see how easily one scavenger’s reign comes to an end.

It’s not every day (or night) that you see a leopard. And it’s certainly rare to see an aardvark. In this video, we witness a grim battle for life.

For some reason, lions are often referred to as the king of the jungle. However, although they may sit at the top of the African food chain, as this video shows, there are exceptions.

The beauty of observing wildlife is that you never know what to expect. As is the case in this strange interaction between predators and prey.

A determined tawny eagle refused to give vultures even the smallest bite of its catch in a rare sighting filmed by Desray van der Spuy in the Kruger National Park.

After taking down a kudu bull all on her own, one lioness in Kruger National Park proves predators don’t always react with violence when there’s a hard-earned meal on the line. In an unexpected twist, this lioness chooses peace over battle when rivals show up for a share!

When different species meet unexpectedly, it can lead to some rather peculiar behaviour. That was the case when a hippo encountered a small herd of rhinos in the dead of night.

As a mother leopard and her cub relaxed in a tree, they saw danger approaching. Showing remarkable calm, the pair averted potential disaster when two lions arrived.

A lone leopard had a fallout with some wild dogs that chased it up a tree and made absolutely sure that it stayed there.

This incredibly chaotic hunt saw a pride of lions putting in the work to bring down a large buffalo, while a leopard watched closely, and an elephant stepped in to complicate matters.

There is a common misconception that, beyond finding their next meal, predators have nothing to worry about. This video shows how they too must be vigilant at all times.
