Africa Day 9: Lion kill

After the day's wildlife viewing I went to the end of the tents at a river overlook. I went to get a clear view of the western horizon because I thought there would be good sunset. As I stood at the point I noticed a herd of wildebeest stampeding up river, as I looked down I saw that a lion had pulled down a young wildebeest and the lion had it by the neck. The wildebeest thrashed for a few minutes then died from the lion's crushing its throat. After awhile the lion dragged the kill to the side of the river, presumably to eat.
