The Fight
One day after watching a group of lionesses kill a buffalo in Ruaha National Park, we watched a male lion come in to steal the kill. The lionesses fought him off in a very vocal confrontation. However, the lionesses then went in search of their cubs who had fled, leaving the carcass to the male.
The lionesses look concerned.
First confrontation.
Flanking maneuver.
The real fight begins.
The male backs down...
...but gets the carcass in the end.
All images except the last one were taken with my Spotmatic F and Vivitar Series I 70-210mm zoom on Fuji SS B/W film. The last image was taken with my Nikon Coolpix 950 with attached Kenko 8x32 monocular.
