The lions must hunt and find food soon or they will die. The pride follows the herd hoping to find an opening. The cubs are too young to keep up and very soon will perish from hunger. Life is tough here on the plains and survival is far from guaranteed. A simple injury can often spell the end for both predator and prey.
The dry season and heat are too much for some. Both elephants and lions press on and soon the rains will come and with it, the life giving water and greenery that can promise life for all.
The lions have brought down a young elephant that has strayed from the herd. This much needed break will feed the pride for a week and has probably made the difference between life and death.
