Baby elephants stray into good prey for lions

The tragic outcome for the stray elephant became a lion's dinner after more than 30 minutes of chasing.

In Hwange National Park (Zimbabwe), African elephants are about 3-4 years old alone to drink water and fall into the sights of a nearby lion.

Immediately, the lion approached, using his claw to grab the baby elephant. The small elephant tries to threaten the lion but this way is not effective. In the end, he had to flee quickly, but the big lion easily caught up. Not only that, the lion also jumped on the elephant's back until the animal could no longer resist and collapsed to the ground.

The war was recorded by 2 photographers Heidi and Kurt Haas from Switzerland. Kurt Haas (67) said: 'The lion tries to find ways to make the elephant lose his balance so he can throw it down but to no avail. Later, the lion slowed the elephant's speed by jumping on the back of the prey. I'm sure this skill has been practiced for years. '

The whole chase took place in about 30-40 minutes before a female lion and another baby lion came along to enjoy the spoils.

Mr. Haas said he did not know whether the small elephant belonged to a large herd or if he lived alone but during the time he was attacked he saw no signs of any large elephant nearby.

He added: under the eyes of a filmmaker, this is a privilege. However, as an animal lover, he shed tears when he witnessed this death scene.
