Description
I was travelling along the Chobe River. Suddenly I see something extraordinary. A pride of 4 lions chases a male kudu. The antelope did something amazing; it escaped into the water full of huge crocodiles. Kudu was risking his life but by doing so saving it. The light was bad; my position was bad – far away, a lot of vegetation on the way obscuring the view. I didn’t want to spoil the action so I decided to go for B&W and wait. For 45 minutes I witnessed an incredible spectacle. The lions were trying to go after kudu; kudu cleverly was retreating into still deeper water. The lions followed many times, but having short legs they were forced to swim, losing the ground and the ability to attack. Kudu was only waiting for that moment and attacked lions with its deadly horns. Now the lions were in trouble, trying to escape a charging kudu. The lions were trying many times and then they were exhausted and gave up. They walked away wet and hungry. Kudu waited for another 15 minutes and jumped out of the water.
