The predator became the prey when a hungry lion was brought down by a giraffe it had intended to make a meal out of.
The amazing moment, which was captured by BBC’s Planet Earth 2, shows a giraffe almost managing to escape an obviously long chase by a pride of lions when one of them finally catches up with it and tries to go for the kill.
The agitated giraffe quickly defends itself as it stomps on the lion, throwing its long legs at it from every angle and bringing the shocked lion down.
