A prie of 14 hungry lions surround a baby elephant as they prepare for a fight that is far from fair.

The battle – captured on film by tourists in the South Luangwa National Park, Zambia – shows the one-year-old beast surrounded by the pack of predators near a watering hole.

As the lions viciously set about the youngster – who was separated from its herd – they begin taking it in turns to leap on its back and sink their teeth into its backside and legs.

Things look grim for the junior jumbo as the lions move in for the kill with three then four clinging to his torso as he looks for an escape route.

But, with the walls closing and time running out, the elephant heads for the water in a desperate bid to shrug off the lions.

And after a lengthy battle, the youngster defies all the odds to emerge unscathed.

The wonderful video recorded and posted on Youtube has attracted a lot of attention from the audience as well as those who love the animal world. A huge number for a wild video: 34m views along with almost 4k comments.

A lot of people were overjoyed by the outcome of the fight and the baby elephant had a battle of a lifetime by winning 14 lions.
