This is the incredible moment a wildebeest fights off two lions by hooking its horn into one of the predator’s hind legs.

This is the intense moment a rare white lioness faced off with a pack of hyenas in South Africa’s Kruger National Park. The lion had just killed an antelope when a group of hungry scavengers took notice and surrounded her in an attempt to steal the kill. Field guide Joe Van Zyl, who captured the footage, […] More
Female lions are known for doing the majority of the hunting in a pride, while male lions patrol the territory. After a kill, however, the males will assert their dominance and mark their place at the top of a well-established pecking order. Typically, the dominant male eats first.

These two rat snakes were spotted battling it out near a Beach in southwest Sri Lanka. While the reptiles’ frantic writhing could be mistaken for mating, they are actually fighting — which you can tell by the way they continuously raise their heads above each other. This technique of twisting their bodies around one other […] More
This is the moment when an elderly male leopard finds itself alone and outnumbered by a pack of vicious hyenas. Usually, an adult male leopard could hold his own in the face of an attack… at least long enough to get away from the danger and retreat to higher ground. But the 12-year-old cat in […] More
Cetaceans have some of the most complex brains on the planet, and are able to pass language and learned behaviors down from generation to generation. But what happens to their complex societies when they are hunted to near extinction? More
Hippos have a notorious reputation as one of Africa’s fiercest animals, and this baby fighting off a lion proves that their ferocity develops early.
