Place: Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, Greater Kruger National Park, South Africa.

Date: 3 March 2017

Description: Lone lioness first attempt in bringing down a lone waterbuck male failed on the one hand earlier that morning. On the other hand it added to her success later as the waterbuck got badly injured with hind legs broken and stomach open. Waterbuck tries to make an escape but doesn’t get far. After 6 hours the female went down for a drink in the riverbed, came back up with new energy (as it was 40 C heat the whole day) then decides enough is enough. She goes into stalking mode and as soon as waterbuck got up and try to run again, the female attacked and manage to hunt the waterbuck successfully on second attempt
