When a young elephant finds itself alone at a waterhole, a clever lion seizes the moment, using deception and skill to take it down. This surprise attack will leave you in awe!
One October afternoon, Calvet Nkomo, a guide at Somalisa Camp, took his guests out on safari in Hwange National Park. The plan was to visit a well-known waterhole near Ngweshla and see what they could find.
Waterholes are always teeming with excitement, and that day was certainly no exception!
As Calvet and his guests approached the waterhole, they immediately noticed a young elephant wandering around on its own. Calvet proceeded to explain to his guests that young elephants are often targeted by lions, especially if they are left alone.
