A safari guide and a few tourists were watching a lion take down a zebra—fairly routine for South Africa—when the situation took an unexpected turn.
After a lioness killed the injured zebra for her pride to feast on, the lionesses of the pride turned against two young male lions, throwing them out of the group and refusing to share the kill with them.
“The kill was done and dusted within moments, and the whole pride appeared to join in on the feeding frenzy,” says Rodney Nombekana, the safari guide. “There were two young males within the pride, and these young males were at the age where they need to be ousted from the pride. This is probably why they were attacked.”
