Three females of the pride went on the hunt and caught a baby Giraffe. One female however did not allow the male lion to eat first and he viciously attacked her. In the Photos above you can see the injuries that she sustained after a 10 min fight with the male. At one point it looked like he wanted to kill the female, she is very lucky to be alive.

    Good set of captures.

    I edited your post by putting a space between your images to give them some separation. I hope you don't mind.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Any shots of the scuffle? I think in #2 she's thinking, "I might have just gotten my butt kicked, but I think I could take out THAT guy...EASY!" ;)
