This otter’s big catch attracted the attention of a couple of cheeky scavengers.

In the wake of the floods earlier this year, Kruger is bursting with life. What better way to celebrate this than this video of lion cubs following their mom.

For all prey species, visits to the waterhole are fraught with danger, as predators often lie in wait. Despite their thirst, these buffalo had clear priorities.

It is no secret that elephants love water, and their visits to waterholes make for great sightings. As this video shows, the affinity starts from an early age.

Kids of yesteryear used to amuse themselves with games like King of the Castle, where the one who held the highest point was the winner. So it’s heart-warmingly relatable to see lion cubs doing the same.

When a pride of lions stumbled on a porcupine family, they rushed in hoping for an easy meal. However, they were met with a rather prickly dilemma.

In wildlife documentaries, predation is often edited to spare our emotions. In the wild, however, these interactions are often agonising ordeals for predator and prey.

When a male ostrich found a couple of trespassers, he didn’t hesitate to show them they were not welcome. Consequently, we’re treated to a comical display that could have deadly consequences.

Black leopards are incredibly rare, but sightings of one making a kill are rarer still. In this footage, that’s only the start of the drama.
