"Battle Of Survival": Hungry Lions Overpower Baby Elephant After Separation From Its Herd (See Photos)

A helpless calf found itself at the centre of a dramatic stand-off between its herd and a pair of hungry lionesses. This stunning series of photographs, taken in the Ruaha National Park in Tanzania, captures the moment the herd of elephants desperately tried to protect their calf.

Two herds of elephants had been drinking from the water, when the baby elephant appeared to become separated from the rest of the group as it tried to cross the Mwagusi River. But two keen-eyed lionesses were quickly on the hunt, drawing ever closer to the terrified calf

After making their first attack, the lions injured the calf. But the adult elephants heard is cries of distress and came rushing to the rescue. Although they tried desperately to help the calf to safety, the baby was too badly injured and couldn't walk. After a tense war of wills between the two groups of animals, the lions eventually claimed victory and brought down the exhausted calf.
