This impala gave birth to her lamb, only for a stalking leopard to instantly take advantage of their vulnerability. Life in the bush can be extremely tough, and sometimes extremely short. For prey animals, even the slightest moment of vulnerability can be an opportunity for a predator to leap out and secure itself a meal.
This unlucky impala lamb found out first hand just how cruel life can be in even a short space of time as life and death came together in the Kruger National Park.
Anton caught this cruelly short life on camera in the Kruger, near Letaba on the H6-1. His three minute long footage includes almost the entire life of the lamb.
