Briton Carolyn Dunford, 23, a biology graduate from Romsey, Hampshire who is completing an internship at Kruger National Park, South Africa, captured lions hunting down an antelope on Friday morning as she drove through the park – one of the largest game reserves in Africa . Ms Dunford said;
‘The kudu (a type of antelope) burst from the bushes and the lions chased it into the cars,’ she said. ‘The first lion grabbed onto its back and the second came in and grabbed its throat. They both tackled it.’
‘ I think I had been driving for about 45 minutes and at about 7.45am, I saw a group of cars crawling along.
‘I pulled up with them and there were the two lions walking towards me.
‘One of them saw the kudu in the bushes and I saw the lion crouch.’
‘As a biologist, I understand the circle of life.
‘For me it was really fascinating to watch a lion hunt. It’s a privilege to see it happen and the power of the lions. It was amazing.
‘I love being right in the heart of the action.’
Wow,bystanders got the action live! See photo of Carolyn below…
