Using all its strength to attack in the hope of controlling its prey as quickly as possible, the lion pounced to chase after it. Unfortunately for it, the zebra quickly kicked the lion right in the jaw, stunning it and allowing it to run away.Immediately, the lion regained its pride and made another attack. With the speed of the King of the Jungle, it quickly caught up with its potential lunch, jumped on the zebra’s back and sank its sharp teeth deep into its flesh.

Undaunted, the zebra desperately fought against its enemy to save its life. It dodged and jumped out of the lion’s jaws once again. But surprisingly, the predator quickly regained its position and chased the zebra and grabbed its tail. However, unfortunately for it, it stepped into a mud puddle and slipped, giving the prey the opportunity to quickly run away, leaving the king of the grasslands lying alone and embarrassed after being defeated by a group of females.

A fascinating hunt in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania was accidentally captured by the lens of American wildlife photographer Thomas Whetten.

The attack did not scare the hunter, quickly regaining its position, the lion gnawed at the prey’s back. Zebra tries to escape from the lion’s jaws.

It can be seen that although lions have the “killer” instinct when hunting, they are not always successful and those seemingly gentle preys, once cornered, can do anything to survive.
