<b>DEATH DANCE: BODUMATAU, MOREMI RESERVE, BOTSWANA</b><br> We were driving around just before tea time when we noticed a lone lioness camouflaged in the grass, in a position that said: "Hunt!" We could see a family of giraffes – parents and a calf – wandering across the plains, so we found a spot in between to wait. The lioness padded right by our vehicle, glancing once in our direction before locking eyes on her prey. Once the giraffes entered the tree line, she gave chase, knowing they would not be able to escape with the trees in the way. We found her later with the calf in her mouth, one eye already turned out. For 40 minutes, she ate it while it was still alive. It was brutal, but that's the reality of nature.
