While preparing to enjoy their catch, two lionesses unexpectedly got into a scuffle, allowing the wildebeest to spring up and escape.
This incident was recorded at Kruger National Park, South Africa.
Noticing a herd of wildebeest grazing in the distance, the pride of lions quickly surrounded and attacked. Soon after, the lions managed to isolate one wildebeest from the herd.
Thanks to their superior numbers and strength, the lions had little difficulty in taking down the wildebeest. Witnessing one of their own in trouble, the rest of the herd could only watch from afar. Just when it seemed the hunt was successful and the lions were about to enjoy their prize, an unexpected incident occurred.
The pride of lions then turned on each other, allowing the wildebeest to escape.
Two lionesses began to quarrel and confront each other. In the chaos, the pride of lions became distracted and forgot about their prey. Seizing the opportunity, the wildebeest sprang up and fled. Many observers were surprised by this scene, wondering why the two lionesses started fighting while they were supposed to be enjoying their meal.
Historically, lions have been known as one of the most fearsome predators across the African savannah. With their superior strength, sharp teeth, and claws, they can take down various other animals for food.
Lions typically hunt in groups, targeting medium to large-sized mammals such as antelopes, zebras, and wildebeests.
