Lions love to eat buffalo meat. But, to do so, they must first bring them down. Invariably, this is easier said than done.

Leopards rely on their stealth and camouflage to remain hidden from others. As this video shows, they do so with good reason.

An unforgettable escape coloured this incredible sighting in the Kruger National Park.

This exquisite sighting provided a rare glimpse into the complex behaviour of elephants, which have been documented to ‘mourn’ the loss of fellow herd members.

While otters and saddle billed storks seldom compete for food, this sneaky otter stole a fish which a saddle billed stork had recently killed and then hurried out of the way!

A herd of elephants and two resting crocodiles share an uneasy stretch of riverbank at Kruger’s South Post. What starts as cautious curiosity ends in chaos, all because one crocodile decided to take a stroll.

When elephants arrived for a swim, there was little the resident hippo could do except stay out of the way.

Female cheetahs do an excellent job raising their cubs. In this video, Mum does an excellent job of keeping her litter together.

When a gentle giant gate crashed a gathering of predators, observers were reminded that in Nature, size matters.

Angry zebras face off against a pack of wild dogs that weren’t going to leave them alone!

A brave warthog managed to trap a leopard up a tree, where it became a stalemate that one would have to break!

Despite the myths, in Nature there are no kings, as this short but amusing sequence proves.

This patient lioness showed onlookers that she is much more than an apex predator.

When two of Africa’s top predators meet, there is often drama. In this video, it’s a case of strength versus numbers.

When this young elephant spotted a giraffe, he took the opportunity to practice some important life skills.

When threatened, prey species occasionally seek refuge in water. In this video, the plan worked until it didn’t.

Sometimes having too many choices is not a good thing, as this leopard discovered when the many impala in front of him left him confused and without a meal.

Otters are widely loved but seldom seen. In this video, it seems even storks are fascinated by their playful behaviour.

Boomslangss are one of the world’s deadliest snakes. However, apparently, this frog never got the memo.

Pangolins are remarkable creatures. In this video, one’s natural defences are put to the test.
