Under the heat of the savanna sun, a pair of lionesses spots a large monitor lizard moving slowly across an open patch of sand. Curious and alert, they approach with low bodies and steady steps. The lizard hisses, flattening itself and whipping its tail in defense, but the lionesses circle it with growing intensity. One lioness makes the first swipe, batting the lizard and flipping it onto its side. The monitor lizard scrambles, using its claws and tail to push back, but the lionesses keep pressing in, testing its reactions. With a quick pounce, the lead lioness pins the reptile with a heavy paw and monitor lizard slowly weak and died. #lion #lizard #wildlife #predator #wildanimals
