Before its lake waters began to rise dramatically about 8 years ago, Lake Nakuru in Kenya’s Great Rift Valley used to host up to a million Lesser Flamingos. The flamingos seemingly co-existed in harmony with the park’s many predators including its lion and leopard populations and their only real enemies appeared to be of the avian variety – Fish Eagles and Marabou Storks. Around about 2006, for whatever reasons, the local Spotted Hyenas clans began to develop a taste for flamingo flesh, which for a photographer, produced some dramatic action scenes. At first glance, the hyena hunting tactics appeared haphazard. They would stroll down onto the lakeshore, survey the mass of pink in the water and then amble in, rarely exceeding a light canter.
The flamingos would have thousands of eyes on the hyenas which gave them plenty of warning of the impending danger plus of course, they enjoyed the gift of flight. Even when the hyenas would try to increase their speed, the water was usually up to their chests, which acted as a natural speed break. Most of the time, the hyenas’ charging attempts proved fruitless even if it provided for spectacular flamingo blast-offs. But after watching the hyenas over a prolonged period, it soon became clear that they were much smarter than first appearances suggested. In a pink sea of hundreds of thousands of birds, inevitably there would be a sick or injured bird. And these were what the hyenas targeted.

Worst. Luck. Ever.
Mr T's last fight against the Selati lions. After murdering up to 150 other lions with his brother kinky tail, he went down in a gruesome fight against his enemies after losing his brother. Will always be a legend.
I just watched the documentary about this coalition of six male lions that ruled more territory in South Africa than any pride before it. Its hard to watch at times because it is absolutely brutal, but incredibly fascinating, at least to me. Its called BROTHERS IN BLOOD. It may have been posted before, but if you haven't seen it and can stand the savagery check it out.

Starship Troopers type of shit.
Talk about a glutton. Their digestive system has to be supercharged to get down like this. They will eat anything that can fit into their mouth. Frogs are amazing animals. Basically a large mouth with a big stomach with arms and strong jumping legs.
