00:00 (lion growling)
00:02 The sociable warthog is recognized for living in groups
00:05 and staying close to their burrows
00:08 as a means of protection against potential predators.
00:11 Despite the presence of a lion pride in the vicinity,
00:16 the warthog was unaware of the danger it faced
00:19 in this specific situation.
00:21 With her eyes set on the unsuspecting prey,
00:24 the lioness bided her time.
00:29 Waiting for the opportune moment
00:31 to launch a surprise attack.
00:33 In a swift motion, she pounced.
00:37 But the warthog's strategic proximity
00:40 to the safety of its burrow
00:41 allowed it and its young to narrowly evade danger
00:45 and emerge unscathed.
00:46 Despite the setback, the lion pride persisted,
00:52 unwilling to let the prey escape.
00:57 Stationing themselves near the warthog's burrow,
01:00 they kept watch, waiting for an opportunity
01:03 to seize their next meal.
01:04 As fate would have it, the lioness spotted another warthog
01:10 emerging from a hole not far from their position.
01:13 And with determination in her eyes,
01:17 she set off in pursuit.
01:19 The warthog, feet footed and agile,
01:21 put up a valiant effort,
01:22 but ultimately could not escape
01:24 the lioness's tenacious grasp.
01:27 In this particular instance,
01:29 the lioness sets her sights on a female warthog
01:32 and her offspring and gives chase.
01:34 The pursuit is brief,
01:38 but the lioness ultimately prevails,
01:40 managing to capture one of the young.
01:42 Meanwhile, the mother warthog takes cover
01:49 amidst the surrounding vegetation,
01:51 making no sudden movements as she seeks to avoid detection.
01:56 Yet nearby, another lioness detects movement
01:59 and acts on instinct,
02:01 pouncing on the warthog and taking it down
02:05 in a swift and deadly maneuver.
02:07 Although the kill may not represent a major victory
02:12 in terms of prey size,
02:14 it nonetheless provides the pride with sustenance,
02:18 effectively silencing their hunger
02:20 and that of their young for several hours.
