Here is taking a small break from the hustle and bustle of daily life. This link was sent to me by friend in Cape Town. Photos were taken by a British tourist. The scene plays out in the Eastern Cape at the Shamwari Game Reserve.

A lion chased the kudu bull from the bushes while another three lionesses were waiting for him. |
|
When the male lion was about to pounce, the kudu made a gigantic jump over the waiting lions. |
|
“A scratch on the leg will not stop my 4X4!” |
|
“Another lion tried to get him in the air, but this also failed. They chased after the kudu but couldn’t catch him.” |
|
“Nothing like beating the opponent!” |
|
“Eat my dust Mr. king of the jungle!” |
Wish the story ended well but according to reports the Kudu was eaten 2 days after the incident by the four lions. The kudu was wounded during the jump and as a result it would have been easy for the lions to track it. The game ranger also said the four lions were young and inexperienced hunters. Well … so much for surviving the food chain!
