Nature is cruel: a 2-month-old baby elephant just lost its mother when it met a hungry lion and tragic ending

Discovering a baby elephant drinking water in Hwange National Park (Zimbabwe), a male lion quickly sought to approach the prey.

After successfully warding off the predator, the elephant managed to run away. However, the male lion easily caught up and jumped on the baby’s back until the prey got tired and fell to the ground. At the same time, another lion also ran to help his fellow to finish the elephant.

The whole scene was captured by photographer Kurt Haas. He said the process of hunting elephants of lions only takes place within 30-40 minutes.
