Nature, red in tooth and claw.

[The Dragon Master]

These amazing shots show a fight to the death between two lions and a hippo.



After attacking and driving the hippo into deep water, the pair of lions play a waiting game, lying still on nearby rocks for two hours before the hippo ventures out.



Having waited for it to get clear of its bolt-hole, the lions pounce and the plucky juvenile hippo puts up a fight, chasing them away.
