LIONS AND ELEPHANTS AT THE WATERHOLE – THE STORY
The lions had killed an elephant at Savute, Botswana and were very thirsty after eating all night. There was a lot of tension at the waterhole and the elephants kept chasing the lions away. When lions are hungry or deperate enough they will kill elephants. The killing took place in the middle of the night and the lions came to the water in the early morning shortly after sunrise. I had to elevate myself high in order to prevent the rock in the foreground from obstructing the view of the lions, so was standing on my toes on the seat of the Landrover, hand holding a 300mm lens. When I reach 5000 page likes on Facebook a random person will receive a signed copy of my book Elephant!
