Lara spotted this female lion as it leapt upon a wildebeest. As she watched, the big cat began to eat its still-struggling prey. From a distance, Lara managed to capture the moment the lioness looked up at her with a piercing gaze, crimson blood dripping from its muzzle.
Lions can hunt alone, but females often hunt ungulates such as antelopes by working in groups. Hunting cooperatively increases their chances of catching prey in wide open grasslands
