00:02 The sociable warthog is recognized for living in groups

00:05 and staying close to their burrows

00:08 as a means of protection against potential predators.

00:11 Despite the presence of a lion pride in the vicinity,

00:16 the warthog was unaware of the danger it faced

00:19 in this specific situation.

00:21 With her eyes set on the unsuspecting prey,

00:24 the lioness bided her time.

00:29 Waiting for the opportune moment

00:31 to launch a surprise attack.

00:33 In a swift motion, she pounced.

00:37 But the warthog's strategic proximity

00:40 to the safety of its burrow

00:41 allowed it and its young to narrowly evade danger

00:45 and emerge unscathed.

00:46 Despite the setback, the lion pride persisted,

00:52 unwilling to let the prey escape.

00:57 Stationing themselves near the warthog's burrow,

01:00 they kept watch, waiting for an opportunity

01:03 to seize their next meal.

01:04 As fate would have it, the lioness spotted another warthog

01:10 emerging from a hole not far from their position.

01:13 And with determination in her eyes,

01:17 she set off in pursuit.

01:19 The warthog, feet footed and agile,

01:21 put up a valiant effort,

01:22 but ultimately could not escape

01:24 the lioness's tenacious grasp.

01:27 In this particular instance,

01:29 the lioness sets her sights on a female warthog

01:32 and her offspring and gives chase.

01:34 The pursuit is brief,

01:38 but the lioness ultimately prevails,

01:40 managing to capture one of the young.

01:42 Meanwhile, the mother warthog takes cover

01:49 amidst the surrounding vegetation,

01:51 making no sudden movements as she seeks to avoid detection.

01:56 Yet nearby, another lioness detects movement

01:59 and acts on instinct,

02:01 pouncing on the warthog and taking it down

02:05 in a swift and deadly maneuver.

02:07 Although the kill may not represent a major victory

02:12 in terms of prey size,

02:14 it nonetheless provides the pride with sustenance,

02:18 effectively silencing their hunger

02:20 and that of their young for several hours.
