Her bird prepares to enjoy the newly caught fish, not expecting someone to catch him as bait.

The lion used its front leg to grasp the ground and pinch its prey in its mouth.

Siwa Sardjoemissier tourists witnessed and recorded the sight of wild birds, the lion, when visiting Artis zoo in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The video recorded by Sardjoemissier shows that the lion patiently waits for the opportunity, while the heron stands by the water hole with a fish in his mouth.

The lion then slowly moved and stopped under a tree only a few meters away from the position of the heron.

When the heron is focused on the fish in its mouth, the lion takes advantage of the opportunity to attack the prey.

Although the heron could spot the attacker and try to fly, the lion using his front leg grabbed the ground and grabbed the prey in his mouth. Another lion is immediately present to prepare to eat the prey.
