Baby Elephant Bravely Confronts Adult Lions

This brave young elephant faced multiple adult lions, despite already being weakened by a bad knee.

Cynthia Mack caught the incredible courage of this baby elephant on camera while in the Hwange National Park. She told Latest Sightings that she and her group were at Little Makololo when they first noticed the elephant.

She described it as “a grey object ‘jumping’ back in the treeline”, and used binoculars to identify it as “a young male elephant all by himself (about 5-8 years from the size of his little tusks).”
