Chases Turtle Bites Huge Lion Drinking In His Pond

A brave terrapin managed to scare off a Goliath of a lion, while the big cat lay drinking from a waterhole at the Mala Mala Game Reserve.

The large alpha male had believed he was alone as he lay by the water’s edge. However, he failed to notice a tiny set of eyes peering up at him from within the water. Of course, when you are a lion, there are few animals which will dare contend with you and so this lion was without a care in the world. That is, until the creature which had been watching him emerged from beneath the water’s surface.
