A pride of lions on the African bushveld constitute a perfect killing machine. Co-operation, stealth, perfect timing and an acute sense of opportunity work together in synchrony as lionesses surround and harass an old bull giraffe, which is unable to retaliate with the same agility as in his youth. The powerful legs kick out in all directions but are no deterrent for the master of the pride whose masculine power reduces the proud giraffe to a hearty bushveld meal for the hungry pride, attended on the periphery by hyenas and vultures lured to the scene by the bush telegraph of opportunity.
