A lioness stared down the crocodile after it tried to snap at a cub.
The lionesses circled around the crocodile. During the encounter the crocodile managed to bite one of the big cats but was soon killed by the pride.
The
rare scenes were captured by Tony Goldman while
on a safari trip to the Duba Plains, in
Botswana, with his son.
Tony,
58, a cardiologist, said: 'The lionesses had
just killed a buffalo and suddenly a crocodile
ventured about 100 yards out of the water
towards them to snack on the meat.
'One
of the smaller cubs was in the path of the
crocodile and it started to advance towards the
cub in a menacing fashion before trying to
attack it.
One lioness let out a roar inches from the croc's face.
Three lionesses then pounced on the aggressive beast.
The
crocodile only managed to get in one bite
before it was killed by the protective pride.
The cubs were brought in for a snack after the crocodile was killed.
