Lion attacking a zebra

    This looks to me like a lion captured in the moment it stikes a zebra.

    Am I right?

    And are those three other lions on the horizon?

    Just discovered how to post images in. Easier to see at larger resolution:

    In a blowup of the third shot I see two zebras nuzzling. And on the horizon there are three zebras.

    @tirralirra Yeah, I can see that in the third shot now that you mention it.

    The animation really makes it look like the zebra is being leapt on.

    I can't really make out that those are zebras on the horizon but it is a reasonable assumption if there are zebras in the foreground.

    They're all zebras. The two closer zebs may be fighting rather than nuzzling - they rear and bite each other sometimes.
