M19B7514 Rhino Vlei, Savuti, Botswana
Elephants are always wary of lions and chase them away as soon as they see them. Usually, the whole group protests and confronts the big cats, who quickly retreat. But sometimes the lions approach quietly to isolate and catch a young elephant. Despite the mothers' vigilance, it is not uncommon to see a calf attacked by several lions. The elephant in this photo was not in the mood to tolerate lionesses around him at the watering hole, so he did not hesitate to chase them away.
