Animals

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.

This beautiful sighting provided a backstage glimpse into the playful side of hyenas, with a trio of cubs taking on ‘Mom’ in a moment of playtime bliss.

Yesterday, a sighting of a calm elephant bull quickly turned dangerous when the elephant changed its mind on the car and stabbed right into the engine area with one of his tusks, and dragged the vehicle around off the road. Thankfully, no one was injured! This elephant was in “musth”, a condition where testosterone levels…

A hyena got too close to a wild dog pack, and the dogs reacted decisively and violently!

While watching predators hunt is spectacular, the actual process of killing can be difficult to witness.

This lion risked danger and death to try and fish an unguarded meal out of the water!

A hungry hyena and an angry leopard competed over a carcass that each wanted to steal from the other!

In Africa, we say, “When elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers”. This video illustrates the saying perfectly.
