At dawn, while the savanna still held the quiet of the night, three lionesses from the Semetu Pride emerged from the tall grasses, leaving their cubs well hidden and protected. With agile steps and coordinated focus, they began their morning hunt across the Namiri Plains, where survival depends on timing and precision.

Within minutes, an unsuspecting gazelle was brought down in a perfectly executed ambush. As the lionesses began to suffocate the prey, a shadow appeared in the distance—about a hundred meters away—moving swiftly through the grass: a male from the Saba Bora coalition, one of the territory’s dominant lions.
