are ready and waiting.
In a sophisticated and well-honed tactic
of herding the buffalo,
a strange, growling charge.
The object is not to attack,
but to stampede the herd into the water.
Only then do they pick off
the struggling young
as they flounder out of their depth.
It is Silver Eye who makes the first contact,
dragging her prey underwater
before the mother can retaliate
and rescue her calf.
Then the hunt goes into phase two.
Now, like sheepdogs,
the lions herd the buffalo together,
relentlessly pushing in.
It is clinical, this constant probing
for weakness,
the following through the flood waters
for up to seven hours at a time.
The lone female hangs back for a moment,
but the cub is eager to join in
despite his instinctive fear of water.
Water is an element that all Tsaro lions
must conquer early to become what they are,
true swamp cats.
And then, the stabbing attacks begin.
Each attack weakens the spirit of the herd.
This is the hunt they were born to.
And this is when the blood races,
adrenaline coursing through their muscles,
throbbing in their heads.
anxious mothers and defensive bulls,
and this is what the lions
have been waiting for, mistakes,
that given time and constant pressure,
are bound to happen.
And this is what the masters
have been waiting for.
Each kill is eagerly observed from a distance.
Ready to add more battle scars
to his profile if need be,
he is here to claim his bounty.
The lionesses have come to accept
this unchivalrous behavior.
It is their sacrifice for the protection
that the males give to the pride.
And knowing that the buffalo
are about to escape across the river,
they continue the hunt.
The females that have run and hunted hard
will need the next kill to be theirs.
This kill must be large enough to both feed
those that stayed back protecting the cub,
and sustain the lionesses
that have been injured in this last attack.
For the females,
the next hunt had better succeed.
The buffalo on this island have developed
an unusual tactic for defense.
Under threat, they present
an impenetrable wall of horns
by simply dropping down to sleep.
There are just a handful of hyenas
on the island.
When a new mother tries to move her cubs
out of the way of the herd,
she is well aware that she is being watched
from both sides.
She doesn't want to be caught
in the middle of this battle.
The unruly cubs had better head for cover.
Lions will hunt down and kill hyenas
even though they don't eat them.
But these lions are focused on killing
something edible,
