00:00 Living alongside lions for as long as I have means you notice the smallest detail.

00:11 I have a theory that when a lioness licks its paws, it's preparing to hunt.

00:18 It's been several days now and I still haven't seen this lioness make a kill.

00:25 With their towering height and signature long necks, giraffes are some of the most iconic

00:30 creatures of Africa.

00:32 For a lone lioness, attacking a 14-foot adult female could almost be a suicide attempt.

00:38 But it is clear that the target was the calf and not its mother.

00:44 Thieves behind predator and prey in the foreground.

00:47 This is how wildlife goes.

00:52 Only the mother risks her life to save her new offspring.

01:01 Fear may lead to mistakes and this is what happened to this little giraffe, which made

01:05 the operation easier for the predator.

01:11 It's her chance and of course she won't miss it.

01:15 A fragile creature like this calf is more vulnerable to injury and rapid death than

01:21 adults.

01:22 His only hope is his mother.

01:28 This lioness is determined to catch a meal that satisfies her empty stomach.

01:40 She was on the verge of death, but miraculously the mother intervened in time.

01:49 Perseverance means success, but missing an opportunity can lead to great disappointment.

01:59 Hours later, the calf seemed to regain its strength.

02:02 He is no longer surrounded by dangers temporarily, but his wounds and severe injuries may lead

02:08 to his death as an easy prey.

02:13 The mother's task is to protect her young, which is certainly a difficult task.

02:18 And it may become more difficult when the young one is injured.

02:21 Despair is a painful phrase, but since she hasn't been damaged by the mother's attacks

02:26 and still has all her physical strength, hope is still there.
