“Early morning on the grasslands, three hungry lions prowl their territory. The air is still cool, and the time has come to hunt. They search for young, vulnerable herbivores—easy prey for a coordinated attack. Typically, these victims are inexperienced, slower, or confused animals that haven’t yet learned to recognize the threat of an approaching pride.”

The sun nearly going down behind the horizon and a small herd of Wildebeest decided to cross the strong current of the Mara river.

Water was splashing everywhere as the large hippo’s jumped into the Mara river on this late afternoon.

Everywhere you look they are there, thousand of wildebeest grazing and slowly building up to pass the Mara river during the great migration.

Wildebeest are nervous animals and they will start moving the moment they sense any danger.

“An enormous crocodile kills a juvenile wildebeest in the Mara River by crushing its head in its powerful jaws. The young wildebeest was crossing the river as part of the annual migration, having become slightly separated from its mother while swimming to the other side. From the riverbank, the massive crocodile sprang into action, swimming swiftly to the middle of the river before seizing the wildebeest. Loud cries erupted from the struggling animal, but after five minutes, the fight came to an end as the crocodile dragged its lifeless prey down the river.”

After a heavy late afternoon rainfall the sun was was quickly disappearing and giving the horizon a warm glow.  Two wet Grant gazelles was grazing in the tall grass with their fur still moist.
