For zebra-sized prey, lion attack alone is not easy.
This is a pleasant moment for the lion. From the beginning, it was impossible to change the decision. Having jumped on the back of the zebra , the female lion had only two options, either quickly ending his prey or possibly suffering serious injuries.
Zebras are herbivores, but relatively large in size, weighing between 300 and 350 kg. In addition, they also have strong legs and deadly kick.
Once the lion has climbed up to the zebra's back, it must be sure not to fall down or fall behind by its prey when cornered, doing whatever it can and even counterattacking it. living.
There have been many cases where lions were seriously injured when hunting zebras due to heavy back kicks on the head, abdomen. In the situation below, the lion also takes a shot at the horse, but the reaction is very different.
However, its efforts have overcome the pain so that it can knock down the zebra to the ground. And the images below were recorded by photographer Clement Kiragu, 36, in Kenya's Masai Mara National Park.
