00:00 All of Africa's animals depend on each other to keep the food supply going.
00:16 At the top of the chain is always the lion.
00:22 The size of large males makes them easier to spot by prey.
00:28 So it's up to the ladies to do most of the hunting.
00:39 Clocking up to 35 miles per hour, the lioness possesses enough speed and strength to catch
00:46 and kill her prey.
00:51 She can only run at her top speed for about 300 feet.
00:58 A strong kick in the face of a lioness could kill her.
01:06 And when she makes contact, it's still not game over.
01:13 She needs all of her strength to bring down a male zebra twice her weight.
01:20 He is not an adversary to be taken lightly either.
01:27 Zebras are also fast and powerful animals.
01:41 The zebra always has recourse to its herd because its isolation posed an imminent danger
01:49 for it.
01:56 The lioness has not yet given up and chases the zebras all the way to the river.
02:01 They were oblivious to what they might face.
02:04 It is an elaborate ambush by the lionesses.
02:10 Alone she had a hard time chasing this adult zebra.
02:15 But now with the presence of her pride, the possibility of escape is almost impossible
02:22 for the zebra.
02:31 This is where living in pride pays off.
