Nature tells us a lot of weirdest things and oddest stories happening anywhere in the world. As such, numerous photographers capture unique moments of wildlife in order to never let wildlife be considered lackluster.
Last week, wildlife fanatic and photographer Thomas Whetten, from Tucson, USA successfully spotted amazing images of fight between a lion and a zebra in Ngorongoro Conservation area, Tanzania. Like a scene from “Madagascar”, the zebra will be the next meal of the lion. The zebra is casually strolling through the grasslands and totally unaware of the lion. Suddenly, the lion which is hiding in the grass leaps on his back. Undaunted, the zebra fights against the predator by an almighty kick to the face. While the lion continues to chase the zebra, it is dumped into a muddy puddle. The spectacular scene is captured from a safari jeep. Mr. Whetten said, “It was spectacular - even better than you see at the movies. It's very rare for a zebra to get away without being mauled at all.”
