Μάχη μέχρι το θάνατο

Μάχη μέχρι το θάνατο

Αυτή είναι η καρδιά-θραύση στιγμή μια μητέρα καμηλοπάρδαλη κάνει μια γενναία αλλά μάταιη προσπάθεια να σώσει το μοσχάρι μετά το ζεύγος επιτέθηκαν από μια υπερηφάνεια των λιονταριών.

Λαμβάνοντας από τον φωτογράφο της άγριας φύσης James Nampaso, 38, οι φωτογραφίες δείχνουν τα πεινασμένα λιοντάρια που προσπαθούν να πηδήξουν στη καμηλοπάρδαλη.

Η μητέρα του μόσχου βάζει τον εαυτό της στο μονοπάτι των λιονταριών σε μια προσπάθεια να τα απομακρύνει - με ένα από τα αρπακτικά να σκαρφαλώνουν στην πλάτη της.

Όμως, παρά τις προσπάθειές της, τα λιοντάρια τελικά κατάφεραν να χωρίσουν τη μητέρα και τον μόσχο πριν καταβροχθίσουν τη νεαρή τους λεία. 

The calf's mother puts herself in the lion's path in an effort to fight it off when it leaps at her offspring - and dies doing so

The photos were taken by wildlife photographer James Nampaso, 38, on the Olare Motorogi Conservancy in Kenya The hungry pride gather around the giraffe calf, clearly seeing the baby as easy prey, and the mother tries to stop them Mr Nampaso said of the sight: 'It's a life experience in 12 years which I have never seen before'. Above: the lion clings to the mother giraffe's back with its claws and teeth Dinner was not as easy to come by as the lions had hoped, as the brave mother put up an incredible fight, even though the lions clung to her fiercely When the lion had jumped on her back, the mother giraffe was able to throw it off, but that did not deter the predators The mother did survive the grisly ordeal, but her calf was not so lucky. It was finally separated from its mother and killed The defenceless calf was then surrounded by the pride. Mr Nampaso added: 'The lions were trying to separate the mother and young and finally they managed to separate and kill the young baby. It is nature but it is still very sad' The calf could not do anything to stop the lions, who viciously brought it down as it cried out in terror before being eaten Once on the grass, two lions were seen on top of the little calf as they prepared to eat it, while two other lions sat nearby
