Highly adaptable and remarkably resilient, predators like lions and hyenas must contend with both competitors and equally well-equipped prey species. From highspeed cheetah hunts in the Karoo to deadly river crossings in the Serengeti, Africa’s savannah specialists battle it out for survival in these hostile landscapes.
