End of Ambush
A solitary lioness was ambushing a herd of zebras in Tanzania's Ngorongoro crater. After crouching for half an hour in a ditch, it saw one zebra rolling over to scratch its back on the ground. The lioness bolted forward, grabbed the zebra's neck for a full minute until the struggle was over.
