MAASAI MARA NATIONAL RESERVE, KENYA: A lion stalks a wildebeest. THE SAVAGE moment a hungry lion sabotaged a wildebeest after it had successfully crossed a river have been revealed. In one image, the 280-pound big cat predator could be seen standing on the riverbank watching the group of wildebeest preparing to come ashore. Subsequent pictures showed how the lion made light work of taking down its 300-pound wildebeest meal before dragging the creature across the ground as its hooves flailed desperately in the air. Another picture revealed a pair of lions tucking into their meal. The action-packed shots were taken at the Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya, by vet and photographer Sonia Varma (32) from Nairobi, Kenya. Sonia captured the encounter from her vehicle which was parked just a few feet away using her Nikon D750 camera and Nikorr 200-400mm lens. Mediadrumimages/Sonia Varma
