Две львицы кормятся с крокодилами на туше бегемота, Lions vs Crocodiles over dead Hippo lunch

We recently returned from a fantastic Robin Pope safari in South Luangua Zambia and we came across a dead hippo in the river that 100’s of crocodiles had surrounded and started having a bite of. However, a pride of 5 lions then appeared and the stench of the dead hippo was attracting them to it and slowly the 2 female lions came down from the river bank into the water and approached the hippo cautiously and when they got to the carcase, they kept the approaching crocodiles at bay with a swift slap from their paws. Eventually the male lion also joined the lunch party and we took a video of this unique “feast“...there are 2 more videos that follow-on from this one.
