Tourists who were lucky -- or unlucky -- enough to enjoy a safari-style drive through South Africa's Kruger National Park back in mid-August have some pretty stunning vacation photos to show off, thanks to a bloody "survival of the fittest" feat that occurred right outside their cars!
As reported by London's Daily Mail this week, what began as a pastoral scene -- a water buffalo grazing in the wilderness about 10 meters off the road -- quickly escalated into a full-on battle for blood as a female lioness crept out of the foliage, ready to pounce.
Recently, eyewitness photos surfaced on Flickr, along with play-by-play commentary detailing just how the lioness stalked her prey. In the end, the buffalo did manage to run away from its predator, although it appeared badly hurt. Those who witnessed the event, meanwhile, were lucky that the two male lions watching from the wilderness didn't jump in!
