  • Jouberts Specials: Ultimate Enemies
    At the edge of a waterhole, a lion cub plays amidst the feet of giants, several elephants tower over his head, shifting nervously, gently nudging their young to safety. This cub is one of the youngest generations of a large pride of lions that make their home at this permanent waterhole in Botswana. It is a lifeline for many animals -impala, kudu, zebra, wildebeest, but since the steady increase of elephants over the past twenty years things have started to change. And what may seem like a typical African scene, is in fact the setting for something quite extraordinary, something we have never seen before. The lions that have set up residence here have developed a special skill. They have learned how to hunt elephants. This is a predatory feat until now regarded as beyond the power of the lion. Visually spectacular, this remarkable film has been shot over a period of eight years. Filmed on 35mm film, it captures new, amazing behavior and presents a powerful story of primal instincts and survival in a harsh and unforgiving place.
